Sarah Dyke

Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 May 2025

Debate

Cullompton and Wellington Stations

Contribution

I intervene because Jonathan, a constituent from Somerton, hoped that his son would attend Richard Huish sixth form in Taunton, in my hon. Friend’s constituency. However, the nearest train station is 12 miles away, and there are unreliable bus services right across Glastonbury and Somerton, so it proved impossible for Jonathan’s son to attend the sixth form of his choosing. Does my hon. Friend agree that the lack of rail connectivity creates barriers to education?
