To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding his Department has allocated to Sheffield City Council in relation to active travel.
Chris Heaton-Harris
Minister of State (Department for Transport)
On the 29th May, indicative allocations to local authorities from the Emergency Active Travel Fund were published on gov.uk. Sheffield City Region Combined Authority has been indicatively allocated a total of £7,186,000. The Department will confirm allocations from tranche 1 of the Emergency Active Travel Fund as soon as possible, and will invite bids from authorities for tranche 2 of the fund shortly. Before receiving any funding, authorities must submit satisfactory plans to the Department, and the amount each authority receives will depend on it satisfying the Department that it has ambitious plans in place to reallocate road space to cyclists and pedestrians.
