Network Rail is giving residents in Princes Risborough and Monks Risborough a chance to give their views on railway crossing safety next week.
A public consultation to talk about railway crossing at Little Kimble, Great Kimble, Monks Risborough and Princes Risborough will be held on January 28 at St Mary’s Church Hall in Princes Risborough.
The session will run from 4.30pm until 7.30pm and residents can put across their views on how to make railway crossings safer.
The railway line between Princes Risborough, Aylesbury and Bletchley is due to undergo upgrades and reconstruction as part of the East West Rail scheme.
Charles Hurst, Network Rail’s project manager for East West Rail, said: “Safety on and around the railway is a top priority for us. The East West Rail project will open up many new journey opportunities, but we want to make sure that the reinstated sections of railway are safe for everyone to use, which is why we are undertaking this study.
“So far, we have discussed our initial proposals with the local authority, landowners and ramblers, but we are keen to hear the wider community’s views. This event gives us the chance to share our initial plans with residents and invite them to give us the benefit of their local knowledge and experience.”
