<p>The provision of improved local public transport links between Birkenhead and the
Deeside Industrial Park, including additional bus services, is an issue for the Liverpool
City Region Mayoral Combined Authority, as local transport authority, to consider.
The Government is providing significant funding to the Combined Authority to improve
local transport through its Growth and Devolution Deals. In addition, the recent Budget
increased the Metro Mayor’s Transforming Cities Fund allocation by £38.5 million to
£172.5 million for investment in local sustainable transport priorities, including
bus. Improvements to local rail links are included in the new Wales and Borders franchise
let by the Welsh Government.</p>
