These works have delivered benefits including extension of the life of the bridges, improved safety both at trackside and on highways above the bridges, improved access for maintenance and examination, and enhanced gauge clearance allowing larger freight trains to use the line.<\/p>

Funding for the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) is provided to local authorities through the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government\u2019s (MHCLG\u2019s) revenue support grant. This funding is not ringfenced, which enables local authorities to make spending decisions that more closely match local needs and circumstances. It is misleading to talk about the grant in isolation when local authorities have access to council tax, business rates and other local income to deliver their local services.<\/p>
