ALT A paragraph from DfT’s Network North document. Text” 60. We will support local devolution across the Midlands. We will guarantee £1.5 billion funding for the new East Midlands City Region, empowering a newly elected Metro Mayor to create London-style public transport networks in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, improving lives and livelihoods among the 2.2 million people in the region. Subject to the Mayor's views, this could include the potential to extend the Nottingham Tram system to serve Gedling and Clifton South; to connect Derby with East Midlands Parkway with a Bus Rapid Transit System; and to reopen the Maid Marion Line to passenger rail services.”
