Local Transport Fund: Leicestershire
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what conversations is she currently having with [i] Leicestershire County Council [ii] the Mayor of the East Midlands, and [iii] pan-regional bodies to determine the funding for local transport priorities in Leicestershire.
- Answer
-
All local transport authorities – including Leicestershire County Council and East Midlands Combined County Authority – are provided with multi-year consolidated local transport funding settlements by my Department. This funding is largely allocated by formula to provide suitable funding to all areas.
These settlements give individual local transport authorities greater freedom and flexibility to make strategic decisions to fund the priorities that best impact their local areas.
