Since the Strategy’s publication, the Government has made further support available for cycling and walking infrastructure in England, through the National Productivity Investment Fund, Housing Infrastructure Fund, Transforming Cities Fund and Clean Air Fund. Decisions on allocating funding for greenways and dedicated cycle networks are for local authorities, who allocate and/or bid for funding alongside other local priorities. In addition, the Department for Transport is providing 44 local authorities in England with access to expert support to assist in the development of ten-year Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans. This support will enable authorities to map their future cycle networks and to prioritise future investments.</p><p> </p><p>Funding for infrastructure projects and local plans to support higher levels of cycling and walking in the rest of the UK is a matter for the devolved administrations.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/07/2018 14:13:20 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

uin	137560
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2018 answer text <p>In England, Highways England is responsible for the strategic road network, that is motorways and major A roads. Local roads, making up around 98% of the road network, fall under the responsibility of the relevant local highway authority. Highways maintenance in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales is a devolved matter and therefore falls under the responsibility of the respective Devolved Administrations. The Department is providing local authorities in England, outside London, with funding of £6.2 billion for local highways maintenance and to help repair potholes or stop them forming.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport does not hold information on what the estimated cost of insurance claims has been to the public purse in the last 12 months due to pothole damage. The matter of insurance and dealing with any compensation claims due to possible defects, including potholes, on the highway network is entirely a matter for the relevant highway authority, who have delegated statutory responsibility for managing and maintaining their roads as set out in the Highways Act 1980 (as amended).</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 02/05/2018 16:39:27 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
