Pat Armstrong to retire

Pat Armstrong – the director of Nottingham’s tram network and who has been involved in the project since the beginning – is to retire from his role early next year, Mr Armstrong – who had the honour of the road leading to the Wilkinson Street depot being named after him – has said that the tram project has been exhausting but rewarding at the same time and has presumably decided following the final go-ahead for Phase Two that now was a good time to call it a day at Nottingham City Council.
