Consultation

The Spring 2008 public consultation provided information to enable the local community, local organisations and other stakeholders to:

Take the opportunity to clarify understanding of the need for additional water supply in the Portsmouth Water area;
Raise issues and consider options in relation to the design, engineering and construction of the reservoir as far as they have been developed;
Participate in developing proposals for landscape, conservation, recreation, education and access; and
Put forward ideas and suggestions

An exhibition presenting the main aspects of the proposal so far was held during March 2008. Over 800 people attended the exhibition.

A report examining the results of the consultation was published in October 2008.
