What is the consultation process for the ORN and PRN?
The experience of previous Host Cities has shown that the key to a successful Olympic Route Network (ORN) and Paralympic Route Network (PRN) is good preparation, and early and effective communication with those who may be affected. The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is committed to an extensive programme of consultation and engagement with people who are most affected to ensure any adverse impacts are minimised. Individuals and organisations were able to comment on the ORN and PRN during the consultation periods for the first and draft second editions of the Transport Plan for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which were published in October 2007 and December 2009 respectively. The Department for Transport also held a consultation on the designation of the routes, which was published in December 2008. Consultation with local authorities along the routes has taken place since 2006. Discussions have also involved a range of road users, transport operators and interest group
