Written Question
Tuesday 27th April 2021
Asked by:
James Daly (Conservative - Bury North)
Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, who has statutory responsibility for suspending or removing an existing bus lane; and what the statutory procedure is for undertaking that action.
Answered by Baroness Maclean of Redditch
Local traffic authorities have powers to install, suspend or remove bus lanes and are responsible for doing so on their road networks. This requires a Traffic Regulation Order.
The process for making Orders is set out in the Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996. If a bus lane is to be removed, an Order will be required to revoke the original Order creating it.

Asked by:
James Daly (Conservative - Bury North)
Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what Government support is available to support the provision of (a) fixed speed cameras and (b) other traffic calming measures in (i) Bury North constituency and (ii) England.
Answered by Baroness Maclean of Redditch
The Department provides £258 million/year (£260 million in 21/22) to local highways authorities in England, outside London, through the Integrated Transport Block for small scale transport schemes, including road safety measures. The Integrated Transport Block is not ring-fenced, allowing authorities to spend their allocations according to their own priorities. It is therefore for each authority to decide how it allocates its resources and which transport improvement projects to support.
Bury Council is part of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), which retains an increased proportion of business rates in 2021-22 in place of the Integrated Transport Block.
