PART 2 Works Provisions

Streets

10 Power to execute street works
1 Merseytravel may, for the purpose of exercising the powers conferred by article 9 or any other provision of this Order, enter upon any street in which the authorised tram system is or is to be laid and any street having a junction with such a street and may execute any works required for or incidental to the exercise of those powers including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, breaking up or opening the street, or any sewer, drain or tunnel under it, or tunnelling or boring under the street.
2 The powers of this article shall not be exercised within the boundaries of a street outside of the Order limits which has a junction with a street along which the construction of a street tramway is shown on the works and land plans without the consent of the street authority, but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
