- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding has been provided to local government for cycling and walking schemes, by scheme (a) in total and (b) by (i) combined authority, (ii) county, district or unitary authority and (iii) parish council, in each of the last three years.
- Answer
-
The Department published a detailed funding summary report alongside the CWIS statutory report to Parliament in February 2020. Around £2.4 billion of funding has been provided to support active travel schemes since 2016/17. The majority of funding has gone to combined and local authorities for cycling and walking schemes. The Department does not provide active travel funding direct to parish councils.
