<p>Mark’s Tey Station, in the Witham constituency, was one of 320 nominations received
for the latest round of Access for All funding. It was not selected as there were
other stations nominated in the region which had either third party match funding
or higher footfall. A list of all 320 nominations will be placed in the Library of
the House.</p><p>Stations were not given a weighted score but were assessed against
a range of criteria including annual footfall, the incidence of disability in the
area, the availability of third party funding for the project, and the priorities
of the rail industry itself. We also took into account local factors such as proximity
to a hospital. Stations were also chosen to ensure a fair geographical spread of projects
across the country.</p><p> </p>
