answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2023 answer text <p>This Government has done more than any other to support walking and cycling and over the course of this Parliament it will be investing around £3 billion in active travel from a wide range of funding streams.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s Carbon Budget Delivery Plan sets out the projected emission savings from transport policies. The Department will continue to monitor the contributions made by its investment in active travel. As captured in the Carbon Budget Delivery Plan, the carbon savings from active travel make up a relatively small percentage of the total projected carbon savings. The impact of recent active travel funding changes on the ability of the Government to meet its overall emission targets is therefore likely to be small.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 24/07/2023 07:38:54 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2022 answer text <p>The Department agrees that local authorities need the capacity and capability to deliver the objectives set out in these ambitious strategies. Active Travel England will have a key role to play in supporting and upskilling local authority officers, and it has already started this process. It has, for example, held meetings with, and provided detailed feedback on scheme designs, to individual local authorities. It has also run events such as a major online workshop in April for local authority planners and transport officers, which was attended by over 400 officers from 120 local authorities. The Department has also been running a series of local authority training sessions, which will see over 1,000 officers receiving training on cycle infrastructure design.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 26/05/2022 13:35:15 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
