Highways Agency - Safe roads, Reliable journeys, Informed travellers

Public Exhibitions

Public Exhibitions were held on 16th, 17th, and 18th September 2004 at Kegworth and Clifton. The purpose of the exhibitions was to inform the general public and other interested parties about the current proposals, and to bring them up to date following the Public Consultation for the Multi Modal Study held in February 2002.

A leaflet containing information on the proposals was prepared and approximately 12,000 copies distributed in advance to local residents and land owners, local authorities, Government agencies, MPs and MEPs, environmental bodies, the emergency services, other stakeholders and bodies with public responsibilities, action/user groups and the press. Details were also published on the Highways Agency website.

The exhibitions displayed indicative preliminary designs, and were attended by staff from the Highways Agency and consultants Pell Frischmann who were there to explain the proposals, answer questions from the public and accept written comments.

In addition to comments received at the exhibitions, responses from the public and others were received subsequently by post and email.

After the exhibitions, copies of the exhibition panels including illustrative drawings and a summary of the preliminary assessments of environmental effects were made available for public viewing at local authority and Highways Agency offices and (in summary form) on the Highways Agency website.
