Mr. Hugh Creegan:

Senator Humphreys started off with the very fair point that corridors should be only where the bus services are, and we agree with that. In all of the four corridor plans we have published, those corridors require upgrading no matter what bus network is put in place because they are all the vital routes on the north side and they need to be done. When we publish the south side corridor plans, we can discuss Nutley Lane at that stage but we have not published it yet.

We have answered about the community forums and independent chairs.

On sustainable drainage systems, SuDS, we will be of course taking that into account during the design stage. I repeat my phrase that it is concept only and we have not gone into it yet. We know that people have been affected by our publication of plans but the reality is that we can publish them only as we get them to a certain stage and all 16 corridor plans will be published by mid February, which is less than two months away. At that stage the details will be out there and people can form their views based on whether they are affected or not.
