| 2. Study Resumption - December 2003 | In November 2003, the Highways Agency published Version 2 of their Route Management Strategy guidance document.

It was decided that the study would resume and that an initial public consultation exercise would take place where the public would be given an early opportunity to input into the study and to assist in identifying key route problems and issues. It is programmed for this initial public consultation exercise to be undertaken in February/March 2004. |

A Land Use and Development Control Statement, specifically developed for the A590 also feed into the Initial RMS. After the collation of the Initial RMS, a Value Management Workshop was held with the Strategy Group (Key HA, regional and local authority stakeholders). The purpose of the Workshop was to discuss and confirm the Initial RMS prior to the RMS Seminar. |
| 4. RMS Seminar - April 2004 | This seminar aimed to present the initial RMS as work in progress and provided those invited with an opportunity to comment on what is proposed. In particular, the route problems and issues that the strategy aimed to address were agreed. Members of the Wider Reference Group, which, amongst others, included the strategy group plus key local stakeholders from the emergency services, local interest groups and transport and business organisations, attended the Seminar. |
| 5. Draft RMS and Public Consultation - June to September 2004 | Following the seminar, the Draft RMS will be finalized and a public consultation of the proposed route outcomes will be held.
