<p>The estimated spending figures are as per the attached table. Local Enterprise
Partnerships (LEPs) have varying degrees of freedom to vary spend between projects
and between years. The published Growth Deals did not allocate funding to specific
years other than 2015/16. The figures provided are therefore for all years 2015/16
to 2020/21 inclusive.</p><p> </p><p>Spend has been designated according to the primary
mode of the schemes individually named in growth deals. Many of those designated as
‘road’ and ‘public transport’ also include some cycling and walking infrastructure.
Spend designated as ‘mixed’ includes individual schemes and packages where there is
no single dominant mode, but within which sustainable modes, including cycling and
walking are significantly represented. This includes the West Yorkshire Transport
Fund where the individual schemes were not announced in the Growth Deal. An estimated
breakdown of modal spend within these schemes and packages could only be provided
at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The figures in this table relate to
the new projects announced in growth deals in July 2014. The Local Growth Fund also
includes £1.6bn of transport spending over the same six year period that had previously
been allocated to individual major schemes and local transport bodies. The Department
has also committed significant expenditure outside the Local Growth Fund, for example,
an additional £114m to further the work of the Cycling Ambition programme.</p><p>
