Gladstone Budget Box (picture - HM Treasury)The 2017 Budget - What's in it for cycling? Your at-a-glance-guide
No more to follow… unless there's something in the small print
road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.

Actually, it's less than nothing:
"Transport and infrastructure
Acknowledging that congestion was an issue in large parts of the country, Mr Hammond said that some £690million would be made available to tackle traffic problems in urban areas and get local networks moving more freely."
Going by experience over the past thirty years, that means widening roads, encouraging more driving and actively making things worse for pedestrians and cyclists.
and no scheme has ever done that and made things worse unless you look at bypasses which local people hate due to the damage it does to the countryside.
hat
I waited ages for the article to load before the realisation kicked in...
Very funny road.cc
Truth in advertising.

So sweet FA to do with active travel in the budget, then?
