MP for Beverley and Holderness, Graham Stuart, will meet representatives of Network Rail and Northern Rail and the Chairman and members of Beverley Civic Society to discuss Network Rail’s plans for the repairs to the pedestrian bridge at Beverley railway station this Friday at 10am.
Graham was contacted by the Chairman of the Beverley Civic Society, Richard Lidwell, who raised the Society’s concerns about Network Rail’s plans for restoration of the Grade 2 Listed bridge. The proposal includes removing the wooden canopy on the pedestrian bridge at Beverley railway station but not replacing it.
Graham said, “As a user of train services to and from Beverley, I am delighted to hear that restoration is proposed, but the Civic Society has raised concerns. Our footbridge is iconic, and I understand may be unique across the rail network. It has been a landmark in Beverley for well over 100 years. I have asked for an on-site meeting to discuss the future of the wooden canopy.”
