Wellington (Somerset) train station closed Octc1964 and needs to be reopened.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Wellington train station was due to be reopened after funding was agreed by the government in October 2021. However, almost four years later, station has not reopened and funding is at risk. We would like the government to approve funding for this essential station due to population growth.
Provide the funding for the train station to be built

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
