(asked on 14th June 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much and what proportion of his Department's £200 million funding for new walking and cycling schemes announced on 14 May 2022 will be allocated to projects located in (a) St Helens North constituency, (b) Liverpool City Region and (c) the North West.
On 14th May 2022 the Government announced £161 million of capital funding for active travel schemes across England as part of £200 million of support for active travel.
Local authorities across the North West region received just under £31 million of this, which equates to around 19%. Liverpool City Region Combined Authority was awarded a little under £12 million, or around 7% of the total, to support schemes across the region including St Helens.
In addition Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Cheshire East Council each received £78,947 of revenue funding to carry out Mini-Holland feasibility funding.
