<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
