Possible New Network Rail Recycling/Distribution Centre At Westbury
« on: March 22, 2009, 09:22:27 AM »

Network Rail already have a distribution facility next to the railway line on Stephenson Road, Westbury, but now plan to extend the site to include a recycling centre for old track materials (link below.)

The company gave a presentation to councillors and the public at a meeting on Monday night to outline its plans for the site.

If the plans go ahead Network Rail have estimated that the centre will create between ten and 15 jobs, which could rise to 30 "depending on output."

David Jenkins, Westbury Chamber of Commerce president and district councillor, welcomed the news but raised concerns about the amount of vehicles coming in and out of the site, which would be a maximum of 160 vehicles per week.

Network Rail will be submitting a planning application for the centre in the next two weeks.
