Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department plans to take to improve transport connectivity in Dudley constituency.

This Government is committed to restoring pride and trust in a transport system that works – day in, day out – for the people who rely on it.

That is why we have allocated substantial funding to the West Midlands Combined Authority, to enable it to make the best decisions about how to maintain and improve its local transport network and connectivity, including in Dudley.

This funding includes over £2.4 billion, until 2031/32, from the Transport for City Regions settlements, as well as an additional £8.6 million in 2025/26 for local highway maintenance, and more than £49 million in 2025/26 in bus funding.
