Decisions on how best to provide for cyclists on local roads are matters for the local authority \u2013 not only do they have a duty to balance the needs of all road users when considering how to design and manage their road networks, but they also have a detailed understanding of their roads.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our guidance in Local Transport Note 2/08: Cycle Infrastructure Design is comprehensive and allows councils to design good, safe schemes within current legislation. It already includes most of the measures highlighted as good practice by, for example, the All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group, and British Cycling.<\/p>
<\/p>
Government promotes best practice through the Cycle Proofing Working Group; an advisory body to the Government on \u2018cycle proofing\u2019. They share knowledge of cycle proofing with those designing and implementing cycle infrastructure on UK roads through their website:-<\/p>

Under the previous Government, spend on cycling increased to £6 per head from the £2 inherited in 2010. This Government has made clear its intention to make this country a cycling nation and our commitment to the publication of a Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy is evidence of our support to go further in supporting cycling on a longer term basis. The strategy will set out our objectives, activities and the funding available for cycling and walking in England in the long term and will be published in the summer following a consultation in spring.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are also going further by making sure that provision for cyclists is now embedded into wider transport programs.<\/p>
<\/p>
Through the Road Investment Strategy, Highways England has committed to provide a safer, integrated and more accessible strategic road network for cyclists and other vulnerable road users, with a plan to invest £100m between 2015/16 and 2020/21 to improve provision for cyclists on and around the strategic road network.<\/p>
<\/p>
At a local level, a record £6 billion is being allocated to local authorities between 2015 and 2021 for road maintenance, and from 2018/19 the plan is to change the allocation formula so that it takes into account footways and cycleways as well as the roads, bridges and street lighting that it is currently based on. Once implemented, around 9% of the funding will be based on footway and cycleway lengths.<\/p>

Transport is largely a devolved matter in the UK, and the delivery of scheme-level monitoring and evaluation is the responsibility of the transport authority implementing the intervention. In London, transport is the responsibility of the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL). The Department has no direct involvement and therefore does not undertake monitoring and evaluation of cycling levels or attitudes in London; this work is the responsibility of Transport for London.<\/p>
<\/p>
Outside of London, there are a number of work-streams that the Department is involved in which directly or indirectly monitor uptake of and / or attitudes to cycling. These are listed below. Much of this monitoring and evaluation work applies to England only; where the work expands geographically, this is clarified below.<\/p>

This includes delivering the £114m Cycle City Ambition programme in full, which includes improved cycling infrastructure on roads, and a new \u2018Access\u2019 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> 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> SR2015 also announced an additional £250m for a potholes action fund, which will benefits both motorists and cyclists.<\/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> 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> Region<\/strong><\/p><\/td> Average spend per head to nearest £<\/strong><\/p><\/td> <\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2011/12<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2012/13<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2013/14<\/strong><\/p><\/td> 2014/15<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> East Midlands<\/p><\/td> DfT spend<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Total spend<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td><\/tr> East of England<\/p><\/td> DfT spend<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Total spend<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td><\/tr> North East<\/p><\/td> DfT spend<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Total spend<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td> 6<\/p><\/td> 8<\/p><\/td> 7<\/p><\/td><\/tr> North West<\/p><\/td> DfT spend<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Total spend<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> 6<\/p><\/td> 6<\/p><\/td> 6<\/p><\/td><\/tr> South East<\/p><\/td> DfT spend<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Total spend<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td><\/tr> South West<\/p><\/td> DfT spend<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Total spend<\/p><\/td> 7<\/p><\/td> 7<\/p><\/td> 8<\/p><\/td> 8<\/p><\/td><\/tr> West Midlands<\/p><\/td> DfT spend<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Total spend<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> 6<\/p><\/td> 6<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Yorkshire & Humber<\/p><\/td> DfT spend<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 1<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Total spend<\/p><\/td> 4<\/p><\/td> 5<\/p><\/td> 7<\/p><\/td> 7<\/p><\/td><\/tr> London<\/p><\/td> Total spend<\/p><\/td> 2<\/p><\/td> 3<\/p><\/td> 9<\/p><\/td> 13<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/strong><\/p>"}
