Penkridge Station House (postcode ST19 5AN) is in urgent need of attention.

Why is this important?

Penkridge Railway Station is in need of some urgent major attention. This appallingly unkempt building is the first thing visitors to Penkridge see as they leave the train to make their way into our beautiful village. Local residents have been patient but enough is enough, now we want some action to resolve this matter please. The building is apparently unstable internally and the question could be asked whether the exterior is entirely safe? Station House has not been used as a residential dwelling for many years and has remained empty and uncared for, resulting in it deteriorating. A complete overhaul is long overdue so it's about time Network Rail addressed the issues surrounding our dilapidated station by putting right what they have allowed to go wrong after years of neglect. Please put this building to good use, perhaps as a cafe with toilets or other such useful facility!
