Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding has been allocated for improvements to Pokesdown station in Bournemouth East constituency.
There is a total of £5.7 million available to complete the improvements project at Pokesdown for Boscombe station which is provided by a combination of funding from the Department, Network Rail and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council. It should also be made clear that Network Rail funding is for renewals such as the bridge and canopy painting/repairs, not specifically the lifts or other station improvements.
