A £300,000 feasibility study will assess potential extensions to Nottingham’s tram network, with three locations under consideration. The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) is commissioning the study to support housing and employment growth.
The proposed routes could extend the NET network to Gedling, the Fairham Pastures development near Clifton, or the Chetwynd Barracks site in Chilwell. The last tram expansion was completed in 2015, and previous extension plans were delayed.
The study, expected to take three to six months, will evaluate land acquisition, public consultation, and funding viability. EMCCA says the project aims to enhance Nottingham’s transport infrastructure, reduce emissions, and improve access to jobs and new housing developments.
The funding comes from the Government’s City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement, which allocated £66 million for East Midlands transport projects.
