Responding to a report by the Public Accounts Committee on the Government’s Active Travel programme, Cllr Darren Rodwell, Local Government Association transport spokesperson, said:
“Councils share the Government’s ambition to increase cycling and walking rates and echo the Committee’s call for councils to have greater certainty around funding to reduce carbon and other harmful emissions from transport.
“With this councils can create the safe and attractive networks to boost active travel rates and reduce congestion.”
