answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2016 answer text <p>The Strategic Road Network does not just impact on motorists but on other road users, especially cyclists. We want the road network to offer better provision for the needs of cyclists. This means, amongst other things, more segregated cycle-ways alongside trunk roads and safer junctions and crossings.</p><br /><p>Highways England has committed to provide a safer, integrated and more accessible strategic road network for cyclists and other vulnerable road users. Through our first Road Investment Strategy for Highways England, £100 million has been made available between 2015 and 2021 to improve the conditions for cycling alongside and crossing the Strategic Road Network.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2015 answer text <p>The Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, to be published in summer 2016, will set out the Government’s plans for investing in cycling and walking.</p><br /><p>The Government recently reaffirmed its commitment to cycling and walking, with SR2015 announcing funding support ofover £300m. This includes delivering the £114m Cycle City Ambition programme in full, which includes improved cycling infrastructure on roads, and a new ‘Access’ fund for sustainable travel building on the legacy of the Local Sustainable Transport Fund. In addition, the Road Investment Strategy for 2015-20 includes plans to improve 200 sections of the roads network for cyclists. All other funding streams will be considered as part of the process for developing the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy.</p><br /><p>It is also worth noting that from within the record £6 billion to be allocated to local highways authorities between 2015 and 2021 for road maintenance, from 2018/19 the plan is to change the formula used to allocate local highways maintenance capital funding so that it also takes into account footways and cycleways as well as the roads, bridges and street lighting, which it is currently based on. Once implemented, around 9% of the funding will be based on footway and cycleway lengths.</p><br /><p>SR2015 also announced an additional £250m for a potholes action fund, which will benefits both motorists and cyclists.</p><br /> <br /> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 17/12/2015 13:49:16 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2015 answer text <p>The table below details spend per head per region on cycling. These figures are made up of the following Government funded programmes: Cycle-Rail, Cycle Safety, Linking Communities, Cycle Ambition Cities, Cycle Ambition National Parks and the Local Sustainable Transport Fund.. The figures for total funding consist of DfT funding plus matched funding. Matched funding comes from a range of public and private sources, for example local authority budgets, private partnerships or third party grants.</p><br /><p>We do not hold a regional breakdown for the £4.8m spent in 2013/14 by the Highways Agency. The table also does not include the £11m a year spent on Bikeability cycle training, as we do not hold a regional breakdown of this funding. These funding streams have therefore been excluded from the below calculations. Further, as we are still in financial year 2015/16 we cannot confirm exact expenditure and we have therefore excluded the 2015/16 financial year from the figures.</p><br /><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2"><p><strong>Region</strong></p></td><td colspan="5"><p><strong>Average spend per head to nearest £</strong></p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong></strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011/12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013/14</strong></p></td><td colspan="2"><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>East Midlands</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>East of England</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>North East</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>North West</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>South East</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>South West</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>8</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>8</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td rowspan="2"><p>Yorkshire &amp; Humber</p></td><td><p>DfT spend</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>Total spend</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>9</p></td><td colspan="2"><p>13</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <br /><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 27/10/2015 15:11:01 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
