A major public consultation exercise was carried out in late 2001/early 2002. Detailed brochures were distributed to thousands of local residents, who were asked for their views on route options. The independent report on their views can be read on the reports page. The web pages created for the consultation have been archived here for reference purposes. The decision on whether to pursue the routes to West Bridgford routes has been deferred, awaiting further reporting on development proposals in Rushcliffe and the Government commissioned A453 and A52 multi-modal studies.
