Jon Cruddas MP and Margaret Mullane, Labour’s Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Dagenham and Rainham, welcomed Louise Haigh MP Shadow Transport Secretary to the site of the promised Beam Park station today.
This is a stepping up of Labour’s local campaign for the government to remove its block on the Beam Park station project.
Following a meeting attended by Jon Cruddas MP and Wendy Morton, Minister of State at the Department of Transport on Monday 7/3/22 to discuss the cancellation of the promised Beam Park station, Jon reports that there now appears to be some progress.
The campaign calling for the government to reverse its decision and deliver Beam Park station is being brought to Parliament by Jon Cruddas MP for Dagenham and Rainham.
Jon has been making the case for the much needed station to be allowed to go ahead and has now secured a debate at Westminster Hall on Tuesday 11 January.
Following revelations in August that the Department for Transport (DfT) had withdrawn their support for the delivery of Beam Park Station, Jon Cruddas MP for Dagenham and Rainham launched a campaign against the decision and is demanding a Tory U-turn to deliver the station.
