January 12, 2012 · 1 Comment
I read many comments in last month’s Local News about the lack of support for a Sainsbury’s supermarket on Wilford Lane. The Asda is the only big supermarket this side of Bridgford.

The project to extend Nottingham’s tram system to Clifton and Silverdale received an official Government sign-off last month.

The construction of lines two (Wilford and Clifton) and three (Beeston and Chilwell) of the tram will take place concurrently. The initial works will largely involve clearing sites and moving utility services to... [Read the full story]
