It has been reported that approximately 30,000 written submissions have been made. Has the NTA placed those submissions into broad categories like accessibility to routes or corridors, electric vehicles or disabilities? If so, does it intend to make that information available to us? Are any changes planned on foot of the submissions? Ms Graham did not say a lot about the written submissions. Perhaps we could get a brief update on that. Does the NTA intend to make many changes?

Deputy Rock referred to the terms of reference for the consultation process. I would be also interested in seeing them. It is a very contentious issue for the residents with gardens who are directly affected. Have those residents been identified? I know Ms Graham has said she will be in touch with them, but have they been notified or has there been any engagement whatsoever with these residents? I am sure they are very anxious at this stage.

I wish to share my time with my colleague, Deputy Dessie Ellis.
