## **Activities and Objectives in Year:** 

The tramcar is on loan to Blackpool Transport Services and in on display as part of the Tramtown Heritage Centre. Tramtown conducts regular guided  tours of the Depot and Workshops. The guides have been fully briefed about the history and aspirations for the tram. During the course of the year around 3,000 visitors have had the opportunity to view the tram. 

The tram was scheduled for workshop space during the course of the year when restoration was to be commenced. This is due to various infrastructure problems in the workshops and continued  uncertainty  about  which  buildings  will  remain  and  for  how  long  once  the installation of electric bis charging points is commenced. 

We are hopeful that these issues may be resolved shortly. 

## **Financial Review:** 

There was no financial activity during the course of the year. 

The Charity does not currently have any funds. 

We are anticipating receipt of around £25k from a charity which is in process of being dissolved.
