East West Rail Public consultation – 31 March – 9 June 2021

New dates have been announced for our programme of livechat and webinar sessions

Date Published: 01/05/2021

New dates have been announced for our programme of livechat and webinar sessions. The original events will go ahead as planned, with six additional livechat sessions and five new webinars planned over May and June.

  • Livechat sessions are a great opportunity to ask our experts anything: the team will be on standby to answer any questions you may have, live
     
  • In Webinars, the team present prepared information about the project, ending the sessions with a question and answer session, grouping frequently asked questions for ease. 

The new sessions – mainly scheduled for evening and weekends – will nearly double the total number of events remaining and cover all aspects of the consultation. The full list of forthcoming events are outlined below.
