Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what transport projects in St Helens North constituency are set to receive funding as part of the £710 million planned for the Liverpool City Region.

As announced at the Spending Review on 27 October, the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements will deliver £5.7bn over 5 years to transform local transport networks in 8 English city regions. This includes allocating £710m to Liverpool City Region. The Mayor of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority is now responsible for submitting a programme business case to HMG. This should be comprehensive across local priorities, culminating in a single transport plan and pipeline for the entire city region.
