Channel Tunnel Rail Link: community relations during implementation

This paper summarises the community relations and public affairs activities on the £5·2 billion Channel Tunnel Rail Link project since its implementation in May 1996. The fact that there have been no public protests or demonstrations since this vast project started on site in October 1998 is a testament to the success of the consultative process. Experiences on the project have now been embodied in a construction industry code of conduct.
