4 CONSULTATION 4.1 Introduction The need for extensive consultation throughout the Framework process was outlined in the consultant’s brief as being a key component of the Framework Plan preparation. Consultation is one of the keys to the success of the Study as it ensures that the issues and objectives of all relevant parties from policy makers to employees and most importantly the residents of the Study Area are fully appreciated and incorporated in the Study recommendations. Clearly conflicts will arise between the requirements and visions of the various groups but consultation strives to achieve understanding and consensus between the disparate parties and produce solutions that achieve the widest possible acceptance within the best practice guidelines. The consultations have been most informative and mutually beneficial for all concerned with significant outputs from the meetings being realised for inclusion in this report, ensuring a step-by-step acceptance of the Study’s proposals. Objectives of the Consultation Process The objectives of the public consultation process can be summarised as follows: • To raise awareness of the public of the Study being undertaken and to outline the opportunities for them to be involved. • Provide the public and other stakeholders with adequate opportunity to be involved in and influence the Plan’s preparation. • To identify and establish a better understanding of local issues, needs and concerns. • To promote active citizenship and local democracy. • Facilitate an open, transparent and fair process where mutual trust can be developed. Planned schedules of consultations were drawn up at the initial stages of the Study with the aim of engaging as many stakeholders as possible. Participants in the process included the following: • Public • Statutory Bodies • Transport Providers • Elected Representatives • Private Groups • Client/Steering/Technical Groups It must be noted that consultation has been carried out on an ongoing basis since Study inception and although the consultants have now reached draft report stage there is still a need for continuing engagement with all stakeholders in order to maintain the momentum and public support developed throughout the process.
