LAST CALL TO SHAPE SUPERTRAM'S FUTURE

Published 30 October 2018 at 11:37am

LOCAL residents, visitors and businesses are reminded to have their say on proposals for the future of Supertram.

A public consultation is seeking views on three options for the system until 5 November:

• Maintaining Supertram as it is through ongoing essential repairs.
• Renewing and modernising Supertram’s tracks, vehicles and information systems.
• Exploring alternative options to Supertram.

Over 2,200 responses have already been received, but we would still welcome wider views.

Around £230m of investment is needed to allow Supertram to operate beyond 2024. South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive and Sheffield City Region will include the consultation feedback in a business case for funding that will be submitted to the Department for Transport in 2019.
