“This is more good news for the historic railway area” says Labour Heritage spokesperson Jane Milner-Barry. “It’s only two weeks since the Railway Village was voted ‘England’s Favourite Conservation Area 2018’.
The Labour Group is particularly pleased that the HAZ area includes the Health Hydro which is one of the most historically significant buildings in the area and desperately in need of sympathetic restoration”.
