Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of the additional funding for bus routes announced in the Spending Review 2019 will be allocated to Worcestershire County Council.

On 30 September, the Government announced a package, worth £220 million, to transform bus services.

This includes an extra £30 million for local authorities in 2020/21 to enable them to improve current bus services or to restore lost services. Further details, including the funding allocations for each local authority, will be announced in due course.
