Sunak sets out £4.7bn local transport fund from axed HS2 leg

Rishi Sunak has set out how transport funding redirected from the Government's abandoned HS2 plans will be shared across regional councils.

The North of England will be allocated £2.5 billion and the Midlands will receive £2.2 billion from money previously earmarked for the axed northern leg of the flagship levelling-up project.

The funding will not be made available until April 2025 - months after the next general election expected later this year.
