Department for Transport Announcement

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

The Department of Transport (DfT) has announced the proposed government funding programme for the various transport schemes. Croxley Rail Link is included within the 'pre-qualification group' of projects where the DfT will be undertaking further analysis. According to the DfT, these projects either need "further appraisal" or they have "not yet been fully evaluated." They will determine which of these schemes can enter the development group by January 2011.

 

This is positive news and Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) will continue the ongoing dialogue with the DfT to ascertain if "further appraisal" is needed and how they can expedite the process.

 

HCC, London Underground and Network Rail remain committed to the scheme's development and will continue to review and challenge the overall scheme cost to ensure best value. The project will maintain communication with stakeholders developing the proposals for the scheme to meet the needs of the local community.

 

This announcement will allow the project to maintain the planned programme which anticipates the submission of a Transport and Works Act Order towards the latter half of 2011.
