Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what South Tyneside Council's allocation of the Transforming Cities Funding was.
As announced at Budget 2020, North East region will be receiving £198 million in capital grant funding to be paid over four years from 2019-20 to 2022-23. This builds on the £10m awarded for quick-win schemes in March 2019 as part of Tranche 1. The funding is for public transport improvements in the North East as outlined in their Strategic Outline Business Case.
