The Lyndhurst Bypass scrutiny review was launched in September 2007, with a variety of communications to the public.

Requests for written evidence were sent out to a wide range of stakeholders, and the deadline for the receipt of views was early October 2007.

After considering the written submissions, the review group identified aspects of the topic which were explored further through a 'select committee' style session, which took place on the following date (please click on link for agenda papers):
