The Department for Transport has allocated £15m towards the construction of a new railway station near Nynehead Road in Somerset. The proposed station is expected to be operational by 2025 and could help regenerate the Tonedale area. The station's construction may also enhance an existing footpath, providing better access to the historic Tonedale Mill and unlocking further regeneration opportunities.
More links to the Longforth Farm Development could be created when the rail station is builtThe government has set aside £15m towards the cost of building itThe proposed station could be operating by 2025Somerset's newest railway station could help regenerate land north of Wellington, it has been claimed.The Department for Transport has now said that £15m will be spent on the proposed station, which would be built near Nynehead Road.
The council is expected to make its final decisions on the rail plans by the end of this year so the station can be opened by September 2025.
Currently, the railway site can only be accessed by crossing Burchill's Hill and going past the old water waste treatment which closed in 1867. A new path joining two other public rights of way from the Longforth Farm housing development will provide an alternative to driving to the station.The updated railway site will come with the potential to spark more regeneration of the Tonedale area, Somerset Council said.Alongside railway updates, there are also ideas to build 220 new homes, along with walking and cycling routes linking the Cades Farm housing estate and town centre.
