BRTA Ampthill-Flitwick Forum Agenda 30-10-24

Details of our forum and the agenda and we welcome all interested people to attend and offer to work with us constructively please.

Yes, we know the budget is on, but will resonate and be repeated for days, so coming is not a waste of time!

A train would take 3 minutes unloading/loading on the timetable but could serve a growing 5-10 mile catchment and give relief to Flitwick. It needs support, studying and working up to make elected all tiers of government take note, support or face the contempt of the public at the ballot box! A Wixams twin platform design on the slow lines, would be just the ticket ideally. It can always be upgraded if demand justifies it! 

The local MP for Mid Bedfordshire is Blake Stephenson: https://members.parliament.uk/member/5100/contact Please write/email and encourage his engagement with us and the project and help usher team building and moving the agenda forwards.
