Detail of feedback received
We received 13 responses to our Consultation. The Senior Traffic Commissioner has considered all responses and outlines where they have been taken into account. The Statutory Documents are published in order to be transparent about the way we make our decisions. On this occasion the majority of changes are dictated by the case law rather than a debate on policy. The responses received have helped us to try and clarify some of the changes.
