Consistent funding needed after 'disappointing' cut to active travel budget — MP Ruth Cadbury says the £100m budget in England over the next two years is 'shockingly low', especially given the context of London alone spending £150m in the same period
The cross-party group of MPs and Lords works to promote active travel in Parliament, and is co-chaired by Labour MP for Brentford and Isleworth, Ruth Cadbury, the shadow minister for international trade telling the showcase that promoting cycling and walking policies should not be controversial.
Noting the clear benefits cycling infrastructure has made to her Hounslow borough, Cadbury stressed the importance of it being funded"properly and sustainably" and said the APPGCW was"disappointed" to learn of a cut to the active travel budget in last month's Spring Budget. Cadbury suggested it is difficult to know exactly how great the cuts are but said the estimated £50 million per year is"shockingly low for an economy and nation like ours".
