]]> Tue, 28 Jul 2015 03:29:28 UTC 19123720 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/18890670?utm_medium=rss The B&NES plan to build housing on the former railway land in Radstock is the most ill conceived and destructive decision made in recent times. It should be re-examined immediately. The prospect of more jobs for local people has no substance whatever.

]]> Mon, 16 Dec 2013 11:13:42 UTC 16421453 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/16325243?utm_medium=rss Fantastic project which will enable both rail travellers and walkers/cyclist the options of enjoying traffic free access to the countryside. The re-opening of the Railway will go a long way in the regeneration of Radstock by removing both commuter and tourist traffic from our already overcrowded roads. Most will recognise the past mistakes of scrapping our railways, many of which would now benefited their local, and ever expanding communities nowadays if they remained open and/or mothballed. Whereas these may be lost forever, the Frome-Radstock link is not. There is a great opportunity to improve our rail network system, offer safe and traffic free facilities for walkers and cyclist and reduce road congestion and its associated pollutants. Learn from past mistakes and take full advantage of this fantastic an unique opportunity and re-open the line!

Not only would a railway line bring in more jobs it would also make Radstock a tourist attraction (just think of Dunster and Minehead, popular for their railways as well as beaches).

]]> Thu, 5 May 2011 05:57:53 UTC 10392437 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/10325547?utm_medium=rss No development work should be undertaken on the past and future rail transport infrastructure.

With rising fuel costs it would be so short sighted to lose this option of restoring a link to Frome.

]]> Sat, 29 Jan 2011 02:58:38 UTC 9427959 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/9391770?utm_medium=rss when talking about a rail network that was built over 100 years ago not being able to cope, it is no wonder when there is only a fraction of it left. if it had been preserved then we may have still had a transport future.

To destroy the future possibility of providing what could be a vital artery at minimal cost would be foolhardy to say the least.

]]> Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:50:02 UTC 6394032 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6393498?utm_medium=rss Once lost this valuable connection for a useful and heavily invested (in labour & material cost) transport system cannot be recovered (or replaced) easily. For the sake of new homes we lose a facility for many thousands of people. Generations to come will not look favourably on our inability to act on their behalf. We need to see the bigger picture for when the time comes that the car will cease to exist and we rely on level paths to travel with ease. (Straight Roman Roads, also gone forever)

That's what I would call helping to build local communities!!! That's what they all babble on about, building good feelings and purpose within the population and winning votes.... are our elected leaders really that selfish and out of touch with reality it's about time they started to listen to the people (one day maybe!!!!)

]]> Sun, 13 Sep 2009 04:05:27 UTC 6188273 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6169570?utm_medium=rss Once the land is lost to building it will never be regained. Look at the example of the Isle of Wight which should have been the worlds greatest 'model railway'

]]> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:24:04 UTC 6134547 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6134539?utm_medium=rss Would like to see this rail route reinstated - a viable environmentally friendly form of transport.

]]> Wed, 22 Jul 2009 04:00:39 UTC 5918224 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5902234?utm_medium=rss Travelling by rail will be a lot easier than the present bus service from Taunton

Trains need to run to Westbury or Bath to be of any use.

]]> Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:51:15 UTC 5723598 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5669575?utm_medium=rss The rail link between Frome and Radstock isn't for sentimental reasons; it’s a serious project aimed at reducing the traffic through a heritage site, It will bring more people to Radstock and open up the possibilities of further links to Bath and Midsomer Norton. Will it work? I live in Westbury, The train to Bath is far easier than road, it’s ALWAYS busy, no parking to worry about, and it’s an enjoyable part of the day, unlike driving to Bath. New houses will not regenerate radstock on it's own

]]> Sun, 14 Jun 2009 04:22:02 UTC 5669575 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5487430?utm_medium=rss With a rail link it would help the environment by less road traffic.

Should a link with 'the Midsomer Norton Project', ever be achieved, again further benefits would accrue.

]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2009 06:22:29 UTC 5130856 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5051328?utm_medium=rss I can remember, as a small child, the thrill of riding to Frome and then on to Weymouth on the train. Give today's children the same thrill

We should invest in railways and reduce the subsidy for road transport n(eg. road building such as so-called by-passes), which is by nature high in energy use, of high pollution output, spatially inefficient and socially erosive.

Not only does it reduce traffic and pollution, but it is in line with developments across Europe in public transport.

]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 06:40:48 UTC 4833400 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4822000?utm_medium=rss Joined-up thinking would suggest that building new houses near but not on the trackbed would mean that Radstock can meet the increased demand for public transport produced by a greater population with a reopened, environmentally friendly railway that would benefit the entire community.

]]> Fri, 23 Jan 2009 03:12:34 UTC 4822000 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4819524?utm_medium=rss Rail is the obvious way to reduce Carbon Emissions by removing many cars from our overcrowded roads.
