You Said, We Did

Our robust and inclusive public consultation in September engaged thousands of local residents, who either attended an event, provided feedback, or saw a social media advert.

Following this consultation, the project team looked at how the scheme could respond to the comments raised by local residents and stakeholders and incorporate the views of the community where possible. The themes below were the most raised during the public consultation.
