Ms Anne Graham:

They are working to a programme the NTA has set for them in association with the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. They are additional to what is already being done within the local authorities. In earlier years, the funding that was available for active travel would have been assigned to the different local authorities. The local authorities would either do the design in-house or go out to external consultants for assistance with their designs. It is a mixture, depending on what resources are available within the local authorities.
