More than 1,600 people responded to a six-week public consultation on proposals for the line between Parson’s Tunnel and Teignmouth in Devon, which is bordered by steep cliffs on one side and the sea on the other.
The plans would see the track realigned to create space to stabilise the hazardous cliffs and protect the railway for future generations. A realigned coastal footpath would also be built, along with a new landward path and accessible footbridge across the railway.
Earlier this year, a second round of consultation on the proposals saw more than 2,840 people attend 11 community events at which a 10m-long scale model of the scheme was on display. Since the first round of consultation in 2019, the plans had been revised to retain more of the beach and improve leisure access.
Key findings from the 2020 consultation include:
- 73 per cent of people agreed/strongly agreed that this stretch of railway needs to be more resilient, with 13 per cent disagreeing/strongly disagreeing and 14 per cent undecided.
- 41 per cent of people agree/strongly agree with Network’s Rails proposals for improved resilience, with 51 per cent disagreeing/strongly disagreeing and eight per cent undecided.
- More than half (54 per cent) of people supported or strongly supported the creation of a new coastal path and amenity
- 2020年磋商会增加超过1,200名与会者和2019年活动的1,100个回复
亚搏彩票软件官网网络铁路现在计划在分析来自第二轮的1,605次回复后改进提案。该协商要求人们向计划提供进一步的意见和/或提供有关如何改进的反馈意见。
从建设时间表的问题和对环境失去遗产特征的影响和对地方经济影响的问题，收到了超过2,100个评论。
Mike Gallop, Network Rail’s director for the Western route, said:“We would like to thank everyone who responded – we have read and reviewed every single comment. We received some good and considered feedback which can positively influence our plans, and it is important that we get this significant scheme right.
“由于反馈的结果，我们现在将进一步炼制计划，以便明年与公众分享这些修订。我们现在将在接下来的几个月内完成这一细节，一旦我们有我们的精致计划，我们将在2021年安排进一步的公众咨询。
“This means that we won’t be applying for a Transport and Works Act order to seek consent for the scheme this year as we had previously indicated in early communications. We will only proceed to this stage when we’ve done this further work and engagement.”
A summary of the consultation outcomes, along with the comments submitted, can be viewed online at networkrail.co.uk/Teignmouth.
Network Rail will also be writing to 16,000 households within the consultation boundary, with a summary of the findings
