Details of the route\u2019s proposed design will be shared when the statutory consultation begins.<\/p>\n<p>The operator added that, during a series of community sessions in November 2023, participatnts indicated that they would like to learn more about the Development Consent Order (DCO) process, and how they could get involved.  <\/p>\n<p>It has developed its latest round of drop-in events accordingly, aiming to explain what the different stages of the DCO application are and how that process works. These sessions are not formal consultation events and there will be no specific design information or proposals available to view. However, that design information will of course be available at the statutory consultation where there will then be the opportunity to share feedback about our proposals.<\/p>\n<p>Beth West, CEO, EWR, said: \u201cEWR is a once in a generation opportunity that has the potential to positively impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of people by improving access to jobs, educational opportunities and public services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you live or work around the line of the route and are not aware or unsure about the process for us getting consent to build the railway, I would encourage you to get involved and attend one of these events to find out more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The events are open to everyone and take place as follows:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Tuesday 7th May \u2013 Bedford Rowing Social Club, The Boathouse, Duck Mill Lane, Bedford, MK42 0AX, from 2pm-7pm.<br \/>\u2022 Wednesday 8th May \u2013 Cutteslowe Pavilion Hall, Cutteslowe Park, Oxford, OX2 8ES, from 2pm-7pm.<br \/>\u2022 Thursday 9th May \u2013 Weyland Hall, 8-10 North Street, Bicester, OX26 6ND, from 2pm-7pm<br \/>\u2022 Friday 10th May \u2013 South Cambridgeshire Hall, Cambourne Business Park, Cambourne, CB23 6EA, from 2pm-7pm.<br \/>\u2022 Monday 20th May \u2013 Roxton Village Hall, High Street, Roxton, MK44 3EB, from 2pm-7pm.<br \/>\u2022 Tuesday 21st May \u2013 St Philip\u2019s Church Centre, 185 Mill Road, Cambridge, CB1 3AN, from 2pm-7pm.<br \/>\u2022 Wednesday 22nd May \u2013 Comberton Village Hall, Green End, Comberton, CB23 7DY, from 2pm-7pm.<br \/>\u2022 Thursday 23rd May \u2013 Bletchley Masonic Centre, 263 Queensway, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, MK2 2BZ, from 2pm-7pm.<br \/>\u2022 Friday 24th May \u2013 Marston Moreteyne Community Centre, Great Linns, Marston Moreteyne, MK4 0DD, from 2pm-7pm.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>East West Railway Company (EWR) will hold a series of information events in May, helping people to understand how the formal application process to build [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":23327,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[7,11],"class_list":["post-23326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rail-news","tag-transport","tag-usa"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
