A Leeds MP is demanding urgent action from Transport Secretary Chris Grayling to give Bramley station a much-needed upgrade.

Rachel Reeves, MP for Leeds West MP, has written to Mr Grayling calling for a raft of improvements to ease the safety fears of people using the station. In her letter, Ms Reeves said: “My constituents regularly contact me with concerns about Bramley Station, in particular the quality of lighting at the station, the need for better CCTV and improved seating.”

Following a meeting with Northern Rail, the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) and local councillors, it was agreed that CCTV and better lighting were required in the wake of reports of increased criminal activity around the station.
