TOLLED BRIDGES REVIEW: PHASE ONE REPORT - 29 OCTOBER 2004:
2. Consultation
Conduct a stakeholder analysis and develop a consultation process for both Phases of the review |
The largely factual and technical focus of Phase One of the Review involved a targeted consultation of three groups of stakeholders:
- Members of the Scottish Parliament
- Bridge and Local Authority Transport Officials
- A number of individuals/organisations with an interest in one or more of the tolled bridges.
On 2 July 2004 the Minister for Transport wrote to all Phase One consultees inviting their participation in the Review and seeking their comments on Phase One ( section 9 - Appendices): 129 letters were issued to MSPs with 4 responses; 18 letters were issued to Bridge and Local Authority Transport Officials with 18 responses; 21 letters were issued to organisations with an interest in the tolled bridges with 10 responses. 35 written responses were received in total, including 3 from private individuals.
In addition, Executive officials met with tolled bridges and local authority transport officials associated with each bridge. Executive officials also met with Mobility Access Committee Scotland (MACS) in its role as the Executive's advisers on the interests of disabled people in the formulation of transport policies.
The Review Team learned a great deal from the consultation process and extends its thanks to all who participated, both in writing and in meetings. The comments and information received that are relevant to Phase One have been taken into account in the relevant sections of this report, but we have not attributed these comments to specific groups or individuals.
