Transport: Tees Valley
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether it remains Government policy to provide £978 million funding for transport projects in Tees Valley.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Investment in the North’s transport infrastructure is of great importance and City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) has a key role to play in continuing to transform local transport across the region. The Government recently committed a further £200m towards CRSTS in 2025/26 at the Budget, and we will confirm allocations for all CRSTS places, including Tees Valley, in the coming weeks. The previous Government made several funding commitments beyond 2025/26, which we are currently examining through a Spending Review, expected in spring 2025.
