This review was announced in April and was originally scheduled to have finished its review and reported back by this autumn. However, it is clear from the group’s latest report that its running behind this schedule because it has discovered that the station project and therefore a review of it was a far bigger exercise than envisaged. This is no surprise whatsoever to anyone who suffered as a result of the several delays in the train service starting! The latest report went to County Council’s Communities Overview and Scrutiny Committee this month and it’s now planned that the final report will be available (and if train timetable were as vague as this train companies would soon go out of business) ‘as soon as possible in 2019’.

I shall continue to chase for regular reports and for the lessons to be learned. These lessons will be valid also for the even bigger project that is the new Kenilworth School and the developments on the land east of Kenilworth which have multiple stakeholders and a vital need to communicate well and in a timely way with local residents.
