(2) No street specified in column (1) of Part 1 of Schedule 5 to this Order (being a street to be stopped up for which a substitute is to be provided) shall be wholly or partly stopped up under this article unless either—

(a)the new street to be substituted for it, and which is specified in relation to it by reference to one of the scheduled works or other works in column (3) of that Part of that Schedule, has been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority and is open for use; or

(b)a temporary alternative route is first provided and thereafter maintained by Merseytravel to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority between the commencement and termination points of the street to be stopped up, until completion of the new street in accordance with sub-paragraph (a).

(3) No street specified in columns (1) and (2) of Part 2 of Schedule 5 to this Order (being a street to be stopped up for which no substitute is to be provided) shall be wholly or partly stopped up under this article unless the condition specified in paragraph (4) is satisfied in relation to all the relevant land; and for this purpose “relevant land” means any land which abuts on either side of the street to be stopped up.

(a)all rights of way over or along it shall be extinguished; and

(b)Merseytravel may appropriate and use for the purposes of the authorised tram system so much of the site of the street as is bounded on both sides by land owned or appropriated by Merseytravel.
