Delivery statistics for the period 2006/7-2019/20, showing the amount of funding allocated and subsequently provided to each local authority in England, outside London, are published on the Bikeability website at https://www.bikeability.org.uk/about/funding-and-delivery/ .

The funding of cycle training in the capital is a matter for the Mayor of London. Since the start of the pandemic the Department has made over £200 million of funding available to Transport for London (TfL) and the London boroughs to support the delivery of active travel measures in the capital, including a one-off £2 million payment to enable more adult cycle training in the summer of 2020. Decisions on how to use the funding including how much to allocate to individual boroughs are a matter for the Mayor of London and TfL.
