York travel campaigners are left disappointed after York has only received a small percentage of the large governmental funding for travel and transport.

York travel campaigners are left disappointed after York has only received a small percentage of the large governmental funding for travel and transport.

 

In the latest department of transport funding scheme in which 46 local authorities would receive a share of £200 million, York has only received £350,000.

 

This has been described as a ‘slap in the face’ by local group York Cycle Campaign although City of York Council bosses state they have been very successful in receiving the funding.
