Please can you register my wish to speak at the issue-specific hearings on 16, 17 and 18 September. I may have already requested to do so, but unfortunately have not made a note. If so, I apologise.
I notice that the meeting on 17 September is to cover ?Alternative options ?.
Will this be covering the proposal, put forward by many, of an improved public transport and rail system as an alternative to building the road? Will the inspectors be able to recommend in their final report that such an option be taken forward, or is it part of their brief to recommend at least some sort of road scheme, though it may differ from that proposed by NCC?
If they are free to recommend that the road not be built, on the basis that a public transport system would be a preferable alternative, what level of detail would inspectors need to see from proposers to enable them to consider that option?
I note that the meeting on 18 September is to discuss the A1067-A47 link. Are the inspectors free to recommend that the road scheme be extended by providing a new road to link the A1067 to A47?
Can they reject the existing road proposal, but state that it would be likely to be accepted if resubmitted with such an extension ?
