The Emergency Active Travel Fund is being released in two phases. The first tranche of £45 million will be released as soon as possible provided Local Authorities submit suitably ambitious plans to the Department. This is to enable work to begin at pace on emergency measures such as closing roads to through traffic, installing segregated cycle lanes and widening pavements. Cheshire East Unitary Authority has been indicatively allocated £155,000 for tranche one, and receipt of these funds is dependent on the completion of an application form outlining the authority’s plans. The application must be submitted by 5 June. The second tranche of £180m will be released later in the summer, again, subject to Local Authorities submitting plans that meet with the Department’s approval.
