Success for Levenmouth Rail Campaigners
The motion
That the Parliament commends the efforts of the Levenmouth Rail Campaign in securing the reopening of the Levenmouth rail line; understands that the group has campaigned tirelessly to bring the rail link back to the area, commissioning feasibility reports, organising Walk the Line events and meeting with local and national government to ensure that the rail link remained at the forefront of the Scottish transport agenda; notes that £70 million has been pledged to implement the line, with a further £5 million allocated to Fife Council to put in place related infrastructure and ensure that the Levenmouth area not only reconnects to the rail network, but has a much improved public transport system overall, and hopes that the group will have a key role in the planning of this project, which it has campaigned tirelessly to bring to fruition.
