Supplemental powers

Mode of construction and operation of the harbour railway system

21.—(1) Where the harbour railway system is constructed along a street or in any place to which the public has access (including any place to which the public has access only on making a payment), the promoter must take such care as in all the circumstances is reasonable to ensure that the authorised tramway is constructed and maintained so that the street or other place is safe for other users.

(2) When considering what measures are required under paragraph (1) the promoter must have particular regard to the character and usage of the street or other place and to those who could reasonably be expected to use it.

(3) Where the harbour railway system has been constructed in a street, works by any person which affect or are likely to affect the promoter’s obligations under paragraph (1), including works to any street surfaces and works affecting any equipment or apparatus placed in the street under article 8 (power to keep apparatus in streets), must not be carried out without the consent of the promoter, which may be given subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as the promoter may require but must not be unreasonably withheld.
