Petitions

David Morris Excerpts

Monday 21st July 2014 Commons Chamber

[David Morris (Morecambe and Lunesdale) (Con)]

I wish to present two petitions. The first has been signed by more than 5,000 people and declares that the petitioners support Peter Yates, MBE, and the people of Carnforth in their campaign.

The Petition of residents of the UK,

Declares that the Petitioners support David Morris MP's campaign to support the reinstatement of the platforms at Carnforth Station on the West Coast Mainline.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to put pressure on Lancashire County Council to approve funding for a feasibility study to allow the platforms to be re-instated.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.

[P001375]

[David Morris (Morecambe and Lunesdale) (Con)]

The second petition has over 300 signatures.

The petition states:

The Petition of residents of the UK,

Declares that the Petitioners believe that there should be more train services stopping at Silverdale rail station. The Petitioners believe that the trains to Barrow and to Manchester Airport that pass through Silverdale should all stop at the station.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to take steps to support Silverdale station in any further franchise applications in the area.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.

[P001374]
