- The table above presents the current funded programme of schemes with a walking and cycling element in their objectives. It is anticipated that there will be no delay in implementation due to a lack of funding.
At present the Sustainable Transport Policy (STP) does not have its own identified funding source, so delivery is reliant on funding from:
• the road safety programme (Car Park Trading Fund),
• development contributions from planning (Planning Obligation Agreements),
• public realm improvement schemes (Government Plan),
• legacy funding from the strong start delivery programme (Climate Emergency Fund).
If there is long term certainty of funding for the STP, the rate at which walking and cycling schemes can be implemented would be accelerated, for example the recently consulted upon Bel Royal cycle track and promenade improvement works.
