A46 Newark Bypass - Options Consultation

Overview

We’re holding a public consultation on our proposals to improve the A46 Newark Bypass.

We’d like to hear what you think, so please share any concerns, ideas or local knowledge that you may have.

The consultation will run for 8 weeks, from Wednesday 9 December 2020 to 11:59pm on Tuesday 2 February 2021

Please view the consultation brochure and supporting information on this page for more details and follow the link below to complete a response form.

Why your opinion matters

The feedback and comments you provide will help us to understand the local area better as well as the scheme benefits and any potential impacts.

All responses received during the public consultation will be recorded and analysed. Where it is possible, we will use your feedback to help
develop the scheme design or to help identify ways to address concerns about the impacts of the scheme.

How to respond

We’d like to hear your views. You can respond using one of the following methods:

• Complete an online version of the response form by following the link at the bottom of this page.
   
• Send a paper copy of the response form to our freepost address: Freepost A46 NEWARK BYPASS - simply put the response form into an envelope, write the freepost name on the front and put it in your local post box. There is no need to use a stamp.

All responses must be received by Highways England by 11:59pm on Tuesday 2 February 2021 . Responses received after this date may not be considered. Because of the potential impact on Royal Mail's services due to the coronavirus, we recommend responding via our online form where possible.

Where to get more information
