Not everyone is happy about talk the tram network could be extended to serve two huge new Nottinghamshire housing developments - one of which took a big step forward this week and is set to be made up of new homes, a new primary school and a council office. There are plans for more than 800 homes off Hucknall Bypass along with a potential tram extension.
A developer has been chosen for the Top Wighay Farm development off Annesley Road near Hucknall. In the future there's potential for a tram stop at the site and the network to be extended to the nearby Whyburn Farm development.
The separate development, to the north-west of Hucknall town centre and east of the M1, has been allocated in Ashfield District Council's local development plan for 3,000 extra houses to be built elsewhere on Hucknall’s greenbelt. Local residents have been talking about the potential tram extension - and they said they were worried about the loss of green space.
