Written answers and statements, 5 November 2009
Andrew Gwynne (Denton & Reddish, Labour)
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how much his Department has given Sustrans for (a) capital expenditure on and (b) maintenance of the walkway between Fallowfield and Audenshaw.
Sadiq Khan (Minister of State, Department for Transport; Tooting, Labour)
The Fallowfield Path has been funded from a number of sources including the New Opportunities Fund grant to Sustrans from the Lottery, Manchester City Council Planning and Local Transport Plan (LTP) money via the Greater Manchester Metropolitan Area funding, and Sustrans' own resources.
The Department for Transport has given no money for the maintenance of the Path over the last five years as this has been carried out by Sustrans at its own expense.
