For the “Transport Foundation – Roads renewal” section of the Plan can you confirm a) how much funding TfL is providing to boroughs in 2022/23 for investment in local roads and b) TfL’s own planned spending on its own road network in 2022/23?

Transport for London (TfL) provides funding to boroughs which allows investment on local roads that is complementary to its ambitions for the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) through its own capital programme. This includes the renewal of roads and bridges, as well as enhancements to progress the outcomes of my Transport Strategy (for example to support the mode shift to walking, cycling and public transport) on the 95 per cent of London’s streets which the boroughs are responsible for.

TfL’s 2022/23 Surface Asset Capital Programme has a budget of £90m, of which £800k is allocated for funding renewals works or surveys on borough roads. However, this budget is dependent on government providing a fair, longer-term funding deal for TfL.

In terms of Healthy Streets, in total (both borough and TLRN) the allocation to 24 June (the original end date of the current funding agreement before it was extended to 13 July) is £32.2m, of which £10m is directly for boroughs. TfL is unable to confirm any further budget allocation for Healthy Streets until government finally agrees a fair, longer-term funding deal for TfL.

As part of TfL’s funding settlement with HM Government , TfL is providing £3m of funding to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham to progress works on the Hammersmith Bridge.
