Dr Liam Fox MP with Brandon Trust students
Here is a photo taken on a cold January day on Yatton station, with Dr Liam Fox MP surrounded by students from Brandon Trust’s catering project. This day marked the beginning of a new phase for the project when Brandon Trust decided to put the project into the hands of a local steering group since it was recognised that the community needed to move the project forward in a way that Brandon Trust could not (because their time, money and energy must of necessity be spent on the students themselves rather than on the renovation of buildings).
We are very pleased to have heard from Dr Liam Fox MP that he is going to be Patron of our Strawberry Line Cafe Project Community Interest Company. He has issued the following statement.
Dr Fox said:
”I am pleased to be able to support this exciting local initiative which will have many benefits for the local community. I think it is a great idea to restore the old redundant station buildings and provide new facilities for rail users and the wider community. The cafe will also support the development of the Strawberry Line Heritage Trail – a truly sustainable approach to tourism in our area. I am also pleased that the new company will train and employ young people with learning disabilities and give them new opportunities. I am looking forward to my first cup of coffee in the refurbished buildings!”
