Written question asked by Lilian Greenwood (Labour) on Thursday, 8 July 2021, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 13 July 2021 (named day). It was answered by Chris Heaton-Harris (Conservative) on Tuesday, 13 July 2021 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Travel: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and which highway authorities were notified that they could not bid for active travel capital funding for 2021-22 from Tranche 3 of the Active Travel Fund.

Answer

The Department made it clear to authorities that their performance with earlier tranches of active travel funding would be taken into account in allocating future funds. One council was not invited to bid this year and, for similar reasons, a number of other authorities will receive a reduction in their allocation, or if their bids are not of high enough quality, potentially no funding at all.
