The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy, CP 1337, published on 23 June 2025, how much of the funding for the Local Transport Grant to improve transport connectivity in (a) smaller cities, (b) towns and (c) rural areas will be spent in Huntingdon constituency.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) has been allocated just under £40 million of the Local Transport Grant from 2026-27 to 2029-30. It is for CPCA to determine how this funding is used across the combined authority and constituent authorities, in line with local priorities. The Local Transport Grant is additional to bus, active travel and highways maintenance funding.
