TRAM PUBLIC ENQUIRY TO BE REOPENED

22nd August 2008

Although the Inspector's report of the public enquiry has been delivered to the Secretary of State for Transport, representations made since the Public Enquiry have caused sufficient concerns that the Enquiry is to be reopened, probably in October. The representations have been made in respect of the over-wintering of Golden Plover and Northern Lapwing in the fields to be used for the Clifton Park-and-Ride which has resulted in the area being designated a SINC. In their evidence to the Enquiry, NET had stated that "no winter bird survey was undertaken because the disturbed urban fringes of Nottingham do not represent good habitat for over-wintering species".
