The Memorial of the undersigned residents in Flookersbrook, Hoole, Newton, Upton and Trafford▼

That your Memorialists reside in Flookersbrook, Hoole, Newton, Upton and Trafford on the northern side of your Chester general railway station, but are shut out from direct access to that station, notwithstanding that a considerable portion of it is actually situate in Hoole.▼
▲''That your Memorialists reside in Flookersbrook, Hoole, Newton, Upton and Trafford on the northern side of your Chester general railway station, but are shut out from direct access to that station, notwithstanding that a considerable portion of it is actually situate in Hoole.''
Several of your memorialists are merchants, commercial travellers and others whose avocations necessitate daily or frequent railway travelling. Some of us regularly take out railway contracts with one or other or both of your companies.▼
▲''Several of your memorialists are merchants, commercial travellers and others whose avocations necessitate daily or frequent railway travelling. Some of us regularly take out railway contracts with one or other or both of your companies.''
The population of the area within which your memorialists reside has greatly increased during recent years and continues to increase. The building of residences for the accommodation of those to whom proximity to a convenient railway centre is an object has for many years progressively developed, is on the increase, and, having regard to the extent of eligible building land available, would advance more rapidly if an approach to your general railway station on the north/ or Hoole/ side, were provided, as we venture to submit due consideration for the passenger traffic resorting to the station from that side demands it should be.▼

At present, to get to the general railway station from this northern side, foot passengers must go past the station up the whole ascent of a long and disagreeable bridge, thence down a flight of steps which are only used on sufferance and are very uninviting, especially at night, and thence about 200 yards along a road on the south side of the station, which is frequently in almost unusable condition, and has no flagged, or other, footpath, whilst vehicular traffic has, in addition, to descend the bridge, make a sharp and dangerous turn, and return on a different level to nearly the starting point, thus accomplishing a wholly unnecessary distance of about quarter of a mile; moreover, the bridge, which has to be thus traversed for its whole length by buses and vehicles, and for the greater portion of its length by foot passengers, is subject to very heavy goods and cattle traffic. There is no protection for pedestrians against cattle being driven on it; it is very indifferently lighted at night, and it is subject to high shrieking, whistling, smoke and nuisances incident to a number of railways concentrating under it, as they run into the station.▼

The necessity for the alterations and extension of the station accommodation now being effected, is presumably necessitated by increase of your companies’ businesses, which in some measure, at least has been, and is, contributed by those whose interests we are urging.▼

Your memorialists, therefore, very respectfully, but most urgently, ask you to provide direct access to the station on the north side.▼
