Summary of responses to the exhibitions
A total of 649 visitors attended the exhibitions, with 182 comments received. A further 38 written comments were received following the exhibitions. Most respondents appeared to understand the proposals. A few expected more detail and had not appreciated that the scheme was still at an early stage.
The responses to the exhibition at Kegworth generally supported the proposals. The main concern expressed was that the scheme was not to be built sooner. A further main concern was about the effects that a new junction at Barton in Fabis would have on the village.
At the Clifton exhibition the overall view was different from that at Kegworth. Although the majority supported the proposals between the M1 and Clifton, there was a spread of views, including support for a bypass of Clifton, or the previously published scheme in which the A453 through Clifton was to be a dual carriageway in cutting between retaining walls.
The range of issues from the written responses at both exhibitions is shown in Figure 1 below.

The exhibitions and subsequent correspondence identified concerns for future attention including environmental issues in Clifton, particularly noise, provisions for cyclists and speed of traffic.
The responses received from local authorities and other groups generally supported the proposals whilst suggesting further consideration of a number of issues.
There were many requests to be kept informed as the scheme progresses.
