answer text <p>The cessation of tolling at the Severn Bridges will remove the need for staff roles that are involved directly in frontline tolling operations or back office support. On 12 October 2018, Highways England notified those affected that they were at potential risk of redundancy, and commenced a formal minimum 45 day consultation period with recognised Trade Unions and individuals to determine those interested in redeployment and outplacement learning. This will include practical training, emotional and coaching support and opportunities for individuals. Highways England will undertake and complete outplacement learning and support following completion of this current consultation process for those individuals who require this.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government’s statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in April 2017, set out that £1.2 billion of funding would be available to be invested in measures to increase cycling and walking in England over the period to 2021. The estimated contributions from local authorities and local enterprise partnerships of funding allocated from central government funds during this period are detailed in the table below. No estimate has been made of the total contribution of locally generated funds from local authorities.</p><p> </p><p>Since publication of the Strategy, additional funding streams have been made available to local authorities including the £1.7 billion Transforming Cities Fund, £220 million through the Clean Air Fund and £5 billion through the Housing Infrastructure Fund. The bidding processes for these new funds are still underway so allocations to cycling and walking are not yet known.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>LA/LEP contributions </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Amount (£m)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Local Growth Fund</p></td><td><p>476.4<sup>1</sup> (597)<sup>2</sup></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cycle Ambition Cities</p></td><td><p>101</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Access Fund</p></td><td><p>80</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Integrated Transport Block</p></td><td><p>193.5<sup>3</sup></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Highways Maintenance Fund</p></td><td><p>196<sup>4</sup></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><sup> </sup></p><p>Note: table does not include central Government funding provided directly to Highways England and for the Bikeability programme.</p><p> </p><p><sup>1</sup>Based on figures provided by Local Enterprise Partnerships to the Department in Jan 2016. <sup>2</sup>Revised figure including final round of Local Growth Fund based on figures provided by Local Enterprise Partnerships to the Department in spring 2018. <sup>3</sup>Based on previous trends. <sup>4</sup>Based on 9% formula weighting.</p><p> </p>
