Cycleways: Pendle
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much has been spent on cycling improvements in Pendle constituency in each year since 2010.
- Answer
-
We do not hold funding information for Pendle Borough Council. However, in 2012 the department for Transport awarded Lancashire County Council £5m Local Sustainable Transport fund for their ‘Targeting key growth corridors’ project. The project comprised a package of sustainable transport measures which supports economic growth and brings forward investment in a green way.
Elements of the package include:
· Network Optimisation to smooth traffic flows and improve journey time reliability
· Enabling Sustainable Travel to remove barriers, allowing more people to travel sustainably
· Promoting Smarter Travel to inform citizens, businesses, universities and schools of the options available to them and to facilitate behavioural change.
These measures are strongly interlinked and together facilitate green economic growth and development by providing fit for purpose transport options.
