Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order modifies the obligations of Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive under the Greater Manchester (Light Rapid Transit System) Act 1988 and later local legislation by removing requirements respecting the levels of tram rails laid in streets and replacing these with a duty of care in relation to the construction and maintenance of tramways in streets or other places to which the public has access. It also provides the Executive with a defence in relation to its liability to maintain streets for a period of 12 months following their completion which is similar to that available to highway authorities under the Highways Act 1980. It disapplies the obligation upon the Executive under section 28 of the Tramways Act 1870 to maintain and repair streets.
