Mr. Gareth Llewellyn:

I have not had any conversations in that regard. With all capital projects around the world, there is a balance between wanting to deliver them as quickly as possible because of the benefits they bring to society while at the same time ensuring the stakeholders on the route have sufficient engagement to voice their concerns. The key thing is making sure those two concerns are in balance. There is a lot more to be done in the upfront engagement once there is a scheme design to explain to people how projects might work and the benefits they will bring. It is hoped that will reduce the delays in the planning process.
