Consultation
7.Consultation took place over a 12 week period between 9 February and 30 April 2003. Some 180 individual groups were circulated and 19 responses were received. Of these 18 either supported the proposals or simply acknowledged receipt of the paper. One Negative response, which centred around public awareness, was received. The Department will address this concern administratively by expanding its advertising in respect of all major roads proposals to include the 3 Northern Ireland daily newspapers where they are not already included.
