Transport for LondonConsultation with stakeholders and interested parties is a key part of assessing the impacts of a scheme. Consultation is essential in order to gain a full understanding of the baseline conditions and potential nature of impacts.
It is also important in ensuring that the scheme is designed to maximise the benefits it can deliver. DLR has adopted this principle and will consult with the public, stakeholders and interested parties throughout the development of this scheme. DLR undertook a major consultation with the local community.
In March 2006, approximately 65,000 leaflets were distributed to residents and businesses along the line of route to Stratford and Beckton. This leaflet described the proposed project and sought the views of local people. Additionally 5,000 leaflets were distributed to passengers at key stations on the north and east routes.
A series of local public consultation events were held to allow people to find out more about the scheme and put questions, comments and suggestions to the project team.

DLR is seeking the views of stakeholders and other interested parties to ensure the scheme benefits the future interests of everyone.
DLR will be updating people on progress and next steps throughout the development of the project.
