The Anonymous Widower

Knicker Twisting In Worcestershire

This article on Worcester News is entitled Worcestershire Parkway public inquiry shelved after pay-out.

It describes the latest round in the saga of getting Worcestershire Parkway station built.

Wikipedia says this.

On 21 February 2015 Worcestershire County Council advertised for contractors for the construction of the railway station to include platforms, station building, passenger footbridge and lifts with a commencement date of late September 2015 with completion in May 2017. On 25 August 2015 planning permission was granted, with work expected to have started in 2016.

A potential legal battle between Worcester County Council and Norton Parkway Developments, who currently own the land, started in 2016. Norton Parkway Developments has refused to hand over the land to the council as they feel that they are in a position to complete the development themselves.

So it seems like another row between a Council and developers over a station, to follow the one at Battersea.
