Text of Petition:
We urge the Welsh
Government to expedite the opening of Magor and Undy Walkway Station, as a
‘quick win’ in the delivery of the lord Burns report. The station is needed
now, with the population of Magor with Undy rapidly expanding and shortly
becoming a town.
Magor Action Group on Rail
(M.A.G.O.R.) has been campaigning for 10 years to restore a railway station to
the communities of Magor and Undy. It has had massive community support and the
full backing of local politicians in the County, Senedd and from our MP. This
resulted in it being included in the Burns Report Recommendations and its
inclusion in the Burns Delivery Programme. We believe this would be a ‘quick
win’ because it is a technically simple and cost-effective element of the plan.
The full history of the
campaign is available on our website - magorstation.co.uk.
