Decision details

that the Interim Director Place and Communities, in conjunction with the Leader, be delegated authority to commission a high level feasibility study into local economic growth opportunities linked to the proposed Maid Marian line.

REASONS FOR DECISION

The Maid Marian line rail link between Sutton Parkway, to Toton was first proposed by Ashfield District Council and is now one of the options being considered by HS2 Steering Group to support connectivity with Toton. In order to further inform discussion and decision making a high level economic growth study is proposed. 

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REASONS FOR REJECTION

The option not to undertake a study is an option was not recommended as this would mean that the potential for local economic growth was overlooked.
