I have started a petition to gather signatures from Stoke-on-Trent, Kidsgrove, Talke and across North Staffordshire to show the government the public want the Stoke-Leek line reopened.
The Government recently recognised that there is indeed a case to look at reopening the Stoke-Leek line, and it is important that we know how local people feel about the chance of securing significant local rail investment.
I will be presenting the petition to the Speaker of the House of Commons on behalf of all who sign it.
