Public Inquiry announced – but County Council yet to confirm application

The Department of Transport have announced that there is to be a Public Inquiry into the GCP's application for a TWAO for the C2C Busway. Yet the County Council have yet to formally ratify the application. The original proposal document was approved by the Council in March 2023, but the eventual submission in November 2024 differed in key respects. The County Council is scheduled to vote on the ratification of the submission at their meeing on 11th February, and given the changes to both scheme and circumstances, CBAG has written to every County Councillor, urging them to reconsider before giving retrospective approval to the submission.
