25.In the case of a bill whereby it is proposed to authorise the construction of a tramway, the promoters shall obtain the consent of the local authority of each area through which it is proposed to construct the tramway, and, where as respects any street or road the local authority is not the highway authority, the consent of the highway authority shall also be necessary in any case where power is sought to break up that street or road:	Consents in case of tramway bill. (HL 25)
Provided that, where it is proposed to construct a continuous line of tramway in two or more areas, and any local or highway authority having jurisdiction in any of those areas does not consent thereto, the consents of the local and highway authority, or of the local and highway authorities, having jurisdiction over two-thirds of the length of the proposed line of tramway, shall be deemed to be sufficient.
In this order "road" has the same meaning as in the Tramways Act 1870 and "local authority" means the council of a London borough or district in England and Wales.
