Amanda Hack MP has announced she has been able to secure a Westminster Hall debate to discuss restoring the Ivanhoe Line.

Westminster Hall debates allow MPs put local issues directly to the Government and get a Minister's response on the record.

There will be no vote on the matter but having a response on record means it can be a powerful way to push for action afterwards and keep pressure on the government to follow-up.

Amanda Hack believes this 'is a real step forward for the campaign to restore the Ivanhoe Line.'

The MP wants to hear views on whether or not the Ivanhoe Line should be reopened.

Lots of local people completed the MP's Transport Survey and want to hears your thoughts again.
