Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what financial and other support he plans to allocate to the Newcastle-under-Lyme constituency to build the required infrastructure identified in the area local cycling and walking infrastructure plan.
Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs) are used by Local Authorities to identify and prioritise investment for cycling and walking schemes from local funds and relevant national funding streams, such as the Highways Maintenance Fund, Integrated Transport Block, Transforming Cities Fund, Future High Streets Fund, and Housing Infrastructure Fund. The Department has been supporting Staffordshire County Council in the development of its LCWIP.
Decisions on future funding for cycling and walking will be made in the context of the forthcoming Spending Review.
