The Department has provided £0.784 million for Bikeability training in schools in Surrey. Surrey County Council is one of the 46 local authorities benefiting from 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 Block and Maintenance Block) of which a certain percentage is spent on measures which benefit cyclists and pedestrians. Local authorities are also able to use other local funds for cycling and walking projects.<\/p>
<\/p>
Surrey County Council is part of the Enterprise M3 Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), which was allocated almost £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 that Enterprise M3 has allocated £42.3 million for cycling and walking projects in their region, including for projects in Woking and Guildford.<\/p>"}

Department for Transport funding for local highway maintenance is allocated mainly by formula to local highway authorities at the upper tier, to county councils or unitary authorities, so we are unable to provide a break down by Parliamentary constituency. The formula comprises the Needs Element (£725 million in England outside London in 2019/20) and the Incentive/Efficiency Element (£150 million 2019/20). Integrated Transport Block (ITB) is a formula distribution of capital funding to local transport authorities, which is designed to fund small-scale local transport improvements, including road safety measures, public transport and public realm improvements.<\/p>
<\/p>
In each of the last three years the Department\u2019s allocation to Surrey County Council for local highway maintenance and for ITB was as follows:<\/p>
<\/p>
2017/18 £21.072 million<\/p>
2018/19 £21.056 million<\/p>
2019/20 £21.034 million<\/p>
<\/p>
The proposed allocation for 2020/21 is £21.034 million.<\/p>
<\/p>
Following Budget 2018, Surrey County Council received a share, £7.409 million, of the £420 million additional funding announced for England. This was for local highways maintenance including the repair of potholes, to keep local bridges and structures open and safe, and to aid other minor highway works.<\/p>
<\/p>
Surrey County Council has a Private Finance Initiative for street lighting, for which the revenue grant payment in each of the last three years was £5.955 million.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, Surrey County Council has received over £3.7 million in total over the last three years through the Pothole Action Fund.<\/p>

The first key milestone will be a call for evidence which we plan to launch in autumn this year. We will use the responses to identify where reform is needed now to address areas with a pressing need for change. The responses will also help the Government clarify where further work is necessary ahead of more substantial changes to legislation over the next few years.<\/p>"}

The law in the United Kingdom already allows for the use of national identifiers on number plates for domestic use.<\/p>
<\/p>
The use of a GB identifier on a number plate is recognised by countries that have signed up to the Vienna Convention.<\/p>
<\/p>
Those countries which have not signed up to the Vienna Convention will still require the use of a GB sticker as the Convention does not include provisions for distinguishing signs in a number plate.<\/p>
<\/p>
Therefore, advice to customers to avoid any difficulties when travelling internationally would be to use a GB sticker on their vehicle.<\/p>
