And all our efforts on the project, since May 2012, have been with that single objective in mind. That will remain our focus until completion and the commencement of service-operations.<br /><br />But we simply can’t foretell what’s going to happen beyond this Council-term, which ends in May 2017. Thus whilst there are indeed no current plans for tram-extensions, there are clearly existing powers which mean that prospect is still a future possibility.<br /><br />Now ... back to those brussel sprouts ;-)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684349200288599810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662128.post-24128769338731393592013-05-12T19:32:50.202+01:002013-05-12T19:32:50.202+01:00Trams for Leith,Andrew!Trams for Leith,Andrew!Age_of_Reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283196887417757335noreply@blogger.com
