Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of changes to funding levels for cycling and walking infrastructure on local authority plans to create safe spaces for active travel.

The Government remains fully committed to the vision that by 2030 half of all journeys in towns and cities are walked or cycled and it will invest over £3 billion in active travel over the course of this Parliament. The £3 billion also includes funding from wider sources such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements and the Levelling Up Fund. Active Travel England estimates that its dedicated investment programme between 2022/23 and 2024/25 will deliver 90 million additional walking and cycling stages by 2025.
