The light rail sector’s representative organisation is set to announce an Interim Chair after an Extraordinary Board Meeting next month, ahead of a long-term appointment later in 2023.

At a UKTram board meeting yesterday (January 19), members agreed to defer the appointment of a new long-term Chair to enable further discussions on the appointment process. Any proposals for changes to existing processes and structures will be shared with members in due course.

In the meantime, the UKTram team will continue to deliver on the objectives set out in its three-year business plan, which can be downloaded here.
