Recommendation 30

We asked DfT for the details about its plans to fund the Bikeability Programme for 2023–24. It told us that it had been increasing the amount of funding available for the Programme over the last decade, and would do the same again this year, but recognised that the funding would not be as much as expected. It explained that conversations on the Programme’s business case were in live discussion and that it would not be providing the £28.5 million which it had initially expected to as part of the 2021 Spending Review Settlement because of the “challenging fiscal environment”.73
