NET PHASE TWO PUBLIC INQUIRY ENDS The Public Inquiry into Nottingham Express Transit Phase Two has now ended with the Inspector – Robert Barker – concluding his tour of the proposed route, following the conclusion of the hearing pre-Christmas.
Mr Barker will now go away, before presenting his findings in the form of a report to the Secretary of State for Transport – currently Ruth Kelly – in July. This will include his recommendation over whether to improve the extension or not. It is then hoped Ms Kelly will make her final decision at the end of 2008.
If everything goes according to plan construction could start in 2010 with trams starting to run in 2013.
