'What will the government do to deliver transformational change?' Less than £1 per head to be spent towards active travel in England, as compared to £17 per head in Wales and £50 per head in Scotland, after recent budget cuts cycling
A Scottish MP pointed out in the Parliament today that the spend per head in England, outside of London would be lower than a pound — 5,000% less than what the Scottish Government is spending to encourage active travel, after the £200 million cut to England’s budget.
“The Government had a relative positivity of ambition on active travel before slashing the budget, as they now plan to spend less than £1 per head in England outside London, compared with £17 per head in Wales and £50 in Scotland — that’s 5,000 per cent more,” he said. He ended with asking: “Without the waffle, what will the Government do to deliver transformational change?”To which, Jesse Norman, Minister of Transport replied: “The Government is spending £3 billion on this area over the current spending period. Active Travel England is making an enormous difference to the quality of schemes throughout England.
