<p>The Government’s Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS), published in April
2017, identified £1.2 billion of funding available for cycling and walking projects
over the period 2016-21. Since then, additional funding streams have been made available,
including the Transforming Cities Fund, Clean Air Fund, Future High Streets Fund and
Housing Infrastructure Fund. As a result, almost £2bn of funding is now projected
to be invested in cycling and walking projects between 2016/17 to 2020/21 from a range
of funding programmes across Government.</p><p> </p><p>The Government response to
the CWIS Safety Review, published in November 2018, gave further details, including
a year by year breakdown of the funding projected for cycling and walking over the
period to 2021. The Department is unable to provide a detailed breakdown of funding
between cycling and walking projects because in some cases funding allocations are
still to be confirmed by the relevant Government Department or local body, and in
practice many projects support both cycling and walking. Further investment decisions
will also be shaped by the forthcoming Spending Review.</p>
