EATF Funding Ask

Gloucestershire County Council has sought over £10m from the DfT’s Emergency Active Travel Fund. These cost estimates are high level only and more work needs to be done to fully design the schemes and understand costs.

Estimated cost break down for this bid is as follows;

1. B4063 Cycle Improvements scheme:

£5,441,000 requested from the Emergency Active Travel Fund, Tranche 2

£6,165,000 other public sector funding (already identified, subject to leverage)

Total Scheme Cost - £11,606,000

*Note that funds from both EATF and the other committed sources (Highways England) are apportioned across all sections. We would seek to develop all sections in parallel to ensure that the whole project, and not discrete sections, can be delivered as quickly as possible to achieve economies of scale and efficiencies during construction. However, if funding only became available for a limited number of sections, these could be delivered while funding for subsequent phases is secured.
