North And Midlands Regions To Get £4.7 Billion Boost From Local Transport Fund - Transport Planning
The UK Department for Transport (DfT) threw the covers off the Local Transport Fund. The Government said this development meant the North and Midlands would benefit from £4.7 billion of direct investment from reallocated High Speed 2 (HS2) funding.
Ministers said the money was aimed at transforming transport across these parts of the country, with smaller cities, towns, and rural areas set to benefit.
