Budget Announcement Could Put £100M a Year Into Region's Public THE WEEK IN East Bristol & North East Somerset FREE Issue 619 18th March 2020 Read by more than 40,000 people each week Budget announcement could put £100m a year into region’s public transport Last week’s Budget provided another boost for public transport in the area. Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a £4.2bn fund for mayoral authorities, including the West of England Combined Authority (WECA) to be spent on the rail and bus network from 2022. This comes on the back of almost three quarters of a million pounds awarded to WECA last month (Issue 616, 27th February) to provide for supported bus services in the area. Although our subsequent interview with First West of England Managing Director James Freeman on the problems facing the 18 and 19 bus routes put that sum Keynsham Station of money into context, the Budget announcement suggests a more serious commitment. As always, the devil is in the detail. The £4.2bn fund will be available to all eight mayoral authorities in England and spread over five years. If the sum was simply divided equitably that would equate to over £100m a year. The Budget announcement also made clear it was for the Metro Mayors to now come forward with proposals for a share of the fund while discussions would also be starting immediately with the mayors of Liverpool, Manchester and the West Midlands who already have projects ready to go. However, the statement also makes clear that all eight combined authorities will receive a share.
