The Nottingham Express Transit System Order 2009

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order authorises Nottingham City Council and The Nottinghamshire County Council (referred to in this Order as the promoter) to construct and operate two extensions to the existing tram system (known as NET Line One) running between Nottingham City Centre and Hucknall, one running from the City Centre to Clifton via Wilford and the other running from the City Centre to Chilwell via the Queen’s Medical Centre and Beeston and, for that purpose, compulsorily or by agreement, to acquire land and rights in land and to use land. It contains a number of protective provisions for the benefit of affected undertakings.

This Order also makes provision in connection with the operation and maintenance of NET Line One and accordingly provides for the repeal of provisions in the Greater Nottingham Light Rapid Transit Act 1994 by which the construction, operation and maintenance of NET Line One was authorised.

A copy of the works and land plans, the open space and exchange land plans, the book of reference and the traffic regulation and rights of way plans mentioned in this Order and certified in accordance with article 79 (certification of plans, etc.) of this Order, may be inspected free of charge during working hours at the offices of Nottingham City Council at Exchange Buildings North, 2nd Floor, Smithy Row, Nottingham NG1 2BS and at the offices of The Nottinghamshire County Council at County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2; 7QP.
