Active travel funding

8 June 2022

Dear

Request for Information – ATISN 16346

I wrote to you on 24 May regarding your request. 

Information requested

You have asked for the following:

1. What funding has been paid to Neath Port Talbot Council for active travel in the last 3 years broken down by year (actual payments and not allocations)?
2. What happens to any underspends?

Our response

I can confirm we hold some of the information relating to your request –

1. The funding amounts for active travel to Neath Port Talbot Council can be found in the table below.  I have split 2021/22 into two columns as we have received Neath Port Talbot’s quarter 4 claims but as they are in the process of being reviewed, the quarter 4 claims have not yet been agreed or paid.

2. hen a local authority declares an underspend it is usually reallocated to another scheme or local authority which requires additional funding.

Next steps

If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response.  Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at:

Information Rights Unit, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ

or Email: Freedom.ofinformation@gov.wales.  Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above.   

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:  Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.  However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process.

Yours sincerely
