Public Transport: Tees Valley
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans her Department has to increase funding for public transport infrastructure in Teesside.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Investment in the North’s transport infrastructure continues to be a priority for this government and has a key role to play in unlocking regional growth. The Government has already committed £310m in capital grants to Tees Valley in the current financial year, via the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS). We are currently examining all future spending commitments through a Spending Review, and any future funding will be confirmed in due course.
