It was a pleasure to welcome our local MP, Paul Holmes to Swanwick Station and have the opportunity to talk about the work of Friends of Swanwick Station, our plans for the future and some of the challenges facing our station.
Alongside discussing our volunteer work and the improvements we are making around the station, we were particularly grateful for the opportunity to raise two important issues: the need for lifts to make the station more accessible and the condition of the existing footbridge, which is in need of repair. We are particularly grateful for the reassurance of continued support in helping to ensure that these concerns and the issues that matter to our local community, are heard and not overlooked. Having the opportunity to raise them directly and know that they are being taken seriously means a great deal to us.
A huge thank you for taking the time to visit, listen to our concerns and recognise the work of our volunteers.
And thank you, as always, to our wonderful local community for continuing to support us. โค๏ธ
I had the pleasure of meeting with Monika and the Friends of Swanwick Train Station to hear more about the fantastic work they do for our community.
The Friends do a brilliant job of keeping the station looking welcoming and cared for, including maintaining the planters and adding colour with plants. ๐ฟ๐ธ
The Friends are always grateful for donations, which go directly towards purchasing more planters and plants to continue improving the station for everyone who uses it, donations can be made at their Just Giving Page. https://bit.ly/4gqQySs
A big thank you to Monika and all the Friends for the time, effort and pride they put into making Swanwick Station a better place for the community.
