Transport: Infrastructure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many sites has her Department shortlisted to potentially receive funding from the Structure Fund.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Department for Transport surveyed local highway authorities and transport stakeholders on the assessment criteria for the Structures Fund in February 2026. We are currently considering the responses and will confirm the final prioritisation criteria in due course. Once these criteria are published, the Fund will be opened for investment proposals from local authorities, and the Department will then be able to confirm which, and how many, schemes are to receive funding from the Structures Fund.
