The Department does not make funding available specifically to support cycle paths, bridleways and footpaths. The provision of cycling facilities is the responsibility of the relevant local authority. We provide funding through the Integrated Transport block to local authorities to use for small transport improvement schemes, including walking and cycling schemes.
However, since 2004 the Department has made a number of funding streams available to local authorities that could have been used for cycle paths, bridleways and footpaths, as well a range of other interventions to support cycling. These are the “Sustainable Travel Towns”; “Cycling Cities and Towns” programme; “Links to Schools”; the “Local Sustainable Transport Fund”; the “Linking Places Fund”; the “Cycle Safety Fund”, and the “Cycle City Ambition” grants.
The capital allocations made to Cambridgeshire and Cambridge City through these funds were/are:
