Public Consultation
The Corporation considers that the views and support of the community are important in the development of railways. The Corporation launched a public consultation programme in conjunction with the preliminary design which commenced in May 2008 to gather the views of the public on the railway scheme to ensure that it will best suit the needs of the community.
The public consultation includes meetings with respective District Councils and Rural Committees, public forums and local residences meetings and a series of roving exhibitions.
