More Misinformation from Compton Acres

Compton Acres Anti-tram group again issuing misleading statements

27th February, 2006

A committee member of Anti tram group ENT, (Alan Philips) wrote to the Nottingham Evening Post on 21 February criticising the Marketing Manager at NET Colin Lea. In the last paragraph he claims that "20% of tram users surveyed said they didn't want more tram routes." This figure is not true as shown in the full report for the survey which can be viewed here. (PDF) The actual percentage of users who stated they do not want extensions to the current tram is 3%.

A few weeks before this the Chair of ENT Cllr Wheeler wrote to the Post stating that NET's surveys showed only 3% of people wanted extensions, we now find that the diametrically opposite is the case.
