ITV has said it is 'disappointed' that the government has given the go-ahead for a new tram route over fears it will disrupt filming on Coronation Street. ITV objected to a plan to build a tram line past the soap's set in Manchester because of potential noise from squeaking wheels, rumbling and horns. But Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has approved the plan, with conditions that he says should reduce the noise. ITV said it will study the conditions before deciding whether to appeal.
