As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for the policy and overall funding in relation to Active Travel. Funding is allocated to local authorities through the National Transport Authority (NTA) for projects supporting walking and cycling around the country. The NTA works with the local authorities to allocate funding for these specific projects and oversees their development and construction.

Noting the NTA's role in the matter, I have referred your question to that agency for an up-to-date, detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
