About Us
|
Friends of Irlam Station was set up in 2005 by local residents with an interest in the train station in Irlam, supported by GMPTE and Salford City Council. Members include local residents, commuters, pupil representatives of Irlam and Cadishead Community High School, plus representatives of GMPTE, Salford City Council and Northern Rail.
The aims of the Group are:
· To promote practical environmental enhancement works especially by volunteers for the benefit of the community and train passengers.
· To publicise and raise awareness of the benefits of “green transport plans”, the train and attractions of the station area and its environs to increase station “footfall”
· To encourage community involvement and ownership, particularly by young people and schools in conservation, environment and associated education artworks, poetry, competition, etc, at the station and its environs.
· To encourage local businesses to improve their own properties and in sponsoring environmental enhancements at the station area.
· To campaign for improved infrastructure facilities and services.
· To work in partnership with all stakeholders to achieve these aims.
Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings.
