Public Participation Process - Stakeholder Workshop
1. Introduction
In July 1998 the government published the results of its own review in 'A New Deal for Trunk Roads'. A bypass was included as a scheme to be progressed through the preparatory stages, as there appeared to be no other feasible solution to the problems faced by the villages of Mottram, Hollingworth and Tintwistle. However, in order for it to be included in the governments Targeted Programme of Improvements it would require further appraisal and assessment to determine whether the bypass remained the best solution compared to other transport possibilities along with subsequent endorsement by the Regional Planning Body.
The stakeholder workshop was the initial stage of the public participation process for this project. The objectives of the workshop were to both inform the Highways Agency of the key stakeholders' views and aspirations and to provide the stakeholders with an appreciation of the issues involved in the project. The information obtained will be used in undertaking further assessments which will assist in the decision making process.
As part of the participation process a public meeting was held on the 20th February 2001. The outcomes of this stakeholder workshop were presented at this meeting and further feedback from the public obtained.
Finally, feedback will be provided to both the stakeholders who attended the workshop and the public who expressed an interest in the project on how the information obtained through this exercise was used in the assessment process and in developing any proposals for Mottram, Hollingworth and Tintwistle.
This report provides a full account of the workshop itself including the results of the morning and afternoon syndicate sessions where problems and issues and solutions were discussed respectively.
