British Cycling have reported, and responded to, the government’s recent culling of a large portion of their Active Travel budget.
According to British Cycling, the English Active Travel budget has taken a hit of £200 million. All Party Cycling has reported that the cuts could reach as high as £380 million.
Whatever the actual number, it’s pretty obvious that there is a sizeable chunk of money now not going towards Active Travel in England.
NEW: Significant cuts announced for walking and cycling
£710m was approved for active travel in the 2021 Spending Review.
£230m has been spent so far. Today’s announcement of £100m for the remaining two years, means a cut of £380m. https://t.co/Wf3bO2kkWC— APPGCW (@allpartycycling) March 9, 2023
