12. #CreateTrams. If we are to decarbonise transport, cut air pollution & boost urban productivity & growth then reliable & fast public transport is key. We have unintentionally made it nearly impossible & very expensive to create new trams. British trams are 2.5 times more expensive than French trams per mile & almost three times as expensive as German trams. This is due to details in the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, The Streets Works (Sharing of Costs of Works) Regulation 2000 and the Transport and Works Act 1992.
