THE Connect Bude annual general meeting will take place as planned on Saturday at 11am in the Parkhouse Centre, Bude.

Scott Mann, North Cornwall MP had planned to attend the AGM of Connect Bude, but due to parliament being recalled for a highly unusual Saturday session, he is now unable to attend.

Connect Bude’s AGM and public meeting, however, will go ahead as planned.

Since the campaigning group first started to call for the reopening of the railway line to Bude in October 2016, it has now gained over 300 active members, supporters and local businesses.

Recent progress and future plans will be updated at the meeting and there will be time for questions and discussion.

All are welcome to the one hour meeting.
