Needs to be more investment in North Notts. Plans for an extension of the Robin Hood Line between the Towns of Mansfield & Ollerton v Edwinstowe were put forward.

A feasibility study was started in 2009 but after 16 years, they are still stuck in the planning stage while other projects in the South of Nottinghamshire seem to get preference.

The council has had money to extend the lines, but keeps cancelling them, and I find it very annoying. Every time there is talk about the tram's extension, the cost tends to go up. I haven't used one for years now.

I think a lot of people in Nottingham would rather see them not break down so frequently; this is another reason why I stopped using them.

There's room for extensions, but the funds need to be in place and managed better. It can't be a case of "this is happening" and then, two years later, "we don't have the funds". What happened to the funds that were there to begin with? Nottingham, as a city, is one where a lot of broken promises happen. I read recently that the Broadmarsh development needs more money to flatten more of the unused land.

It's no surprise that the council is facing financial difficulties.
