Why we are doing market research on this project
We are also doing market research alongside this consultation. Given the importance of the project to the city, councillors asked us to do market research in addition to standard consultation. This has been done recently on other projects, such as the Circulation Plan: Our Future Streets and the City Mobility Plan, and is recommended as part of the Council’s approach to consultation on large projects.
How we define stakeholders
We use the Scottish Government’s National Standards for Community Engagement to develop consultations. The Council uses an Integrated Impact Assessment approach to ensure we are complying with our equality and diversity obligations. This is particularly important with regards those who have protected characteristics.
We have used the Integrated Impact Assessment checklist to identify organisations we must consider as part of any consultation and engagement. These were listed in Appendix 1 of the 1 February 2024 committee report (LINK). We wrote to these organisations ahead of committee to advise them of the report and to confirm we would write again advising of consultation start date and encouraging participation.
We will continue to monitor the stakeholder list and will add to it where necessary.
Information we have given to councillors about consulting on this expansion
Briefings were provided to all political parties. These were based on the content that was provided to the Transport and Environment Committee on 1 February 2024.
