The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has had recent discussions with the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport on taking steps to help ensure that transport links are adequate to support funding for cricket facilities at The Dome in Farrington.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department provides funding to local authorities to deliver their local transport priorities. For Lancashire Combined County Authority, this includes over £257 million through the Local Transport Grant between 2025/26 – 2029/30. It is for local leaders to decide how to use this funding for transport maintenance and enhancements. The Local Transport Grant is additional to bus, active travel and highways maintenance funding.
