	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of ensuring hauliers have access to appropriate services and facilities.</p><p>That is why we are investing £52.5 million in roadside facilities in England for HGV drivers on the road. The funding will go towards supporting operators to make improvements such as improving security, sanitary and eating facilities as well as possibly increasing parking spaces for lorry drivers.</p><p>We have commissioned a ‘National Lorry Parking Survey’ which commenced in January 2022 and will be used as our primary evidence base to understand what improvements are most needed and where they are needed. The M42 including the area around Tamworth is included in this survey and its output will be used to set criteria for government funding. In addition, once published, the Survey will be available to support planning applications for new lorry parking.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/09/2022 11:36:58 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2022 answer text <p>Over the past three tranches of active travel funding rounds beginning in 2020 a total of £2,385,500 of Active Travel funding has been awarded to Staffordshire. Funding is not defined by the proportion allocated to individual modes of travel. However, whilst it is not possible to determine the funding directly attributed to cycling or walking, the implementation of active travel schemes has a wider benefit beyond the scope of individual schemes, providing benefits to those who are walking, wheeling, or cycling.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/09/2022 15:13:46 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
