Definitely not! It's perfectly reasonable to question something that concerns you, and it's entirely understandable for people to be interested in something which would be near to them. The alternative to the CW route (ie the CQD route) does not move the problem into anyone's back yard but to somewhere of more service to the whole of the Nottinghamshire community.

Take a look at the map showing NET's two alternative routes from Clifton to the city centre (show map). Both start and end at the same place - the big difference is the middle section.

The major attractions of taking the Queens Drive route option are that:

• it does not destroy an important wildlife corridor (see Environment)
• it serves the major employment corridor of Nottingham, allowing employees to travel from across Nottinghamshireit serves consumers from across the county, enabling them to not only reach the city centre but also the Queens Drive retail parks.
• it would have much greater potential to integrate into a comprehensive tram network
• it would not run within a few feet of many residential properties (so the problem does not affect anyone's backyard).
