Negotiations with Network Rail and First Great Western for community funding

The link between Network Rail (NR) and Looe Road is that some of the cottages were once occupied by railway employees.

Christine Fraser, myself, and another Bonhay Road resident, Gina Richards (more about Gina Richards to follow in another post), met at St.David's Railway Station with a NR representative to discuss the possibility of Network Rail providing some funding for improvements to our community, or so I had been led to believe by Christine.

This meeting discussed nothing more than NR providing funding for a piece of 'modern art' outside the front of the Railway Station.

This was not what I had been told this meeting was for. To raise funding,Yes, but given the many other more important things that need attention, a sculpture, no!

No doubt the installation of a sculpture outside the Station carried more kudos for CF/SDNP/SL/EPW than implementing other more mundane improvements.
