Transport: Staffordshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what fiscal steps she is taking to improve transport connectivity in North Staffordshire.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Spending Review 2025 confirmed £2.3 billion for local transport through the Local Transport Grant (LTG), providing long-term funding for areas outside the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) and Transport for City Regions (TCR) programmes.
The grant combines £2.2 billion of capital funding over four years with more than £100 million of resource funding, over three years, to support local delivery capacity.
Staffordshire will receive £92,979,000 in capital funding between 2026/27 and 2029/30, and £3,391,000 in resource funding between 2026/27 and 2028/29, enabling it to deliver more ambitious local transport improvements through a simplified, consolidated funding settlement.
