a total of £1.5 million investment to support the development of Local Cycling and
Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs). The Department has also allocated around £64
million to Surrey from non-ringfenced funding streams (including the Integrated Transport

benefit cyclists and pedestrians. Local authorities are also able to use other local
funds for cycling and walking projects.</p><p> </p><p>Surrey County Council is part

£125 million through the Local Growth Fund (LGF). The Department conducted a survey
of LEPs about investment of LGF on cycling and walking projects and this has shown

their region, including for projects in Woking and Guildford.</p>
