The Government have today announced a £15 million fund to improve safety for cyclists in England (outside London). This is in addition to the £15 million support for cycle safety improvements within London announced by the Government in March.
 
The fund will provide capital support to improve safety at junctions identified as having a record of road incidents that have resulted in cyclists being killed or seriously injured.
 
The Department for Transport will now work in partnership with local authorities and the Cycling Stakeholder Forum – which brings together cycling groups, safety experts, local authorities and other interested parties – to identify and prioritise junctions.

Further information on how the money will be allocated will be announced in the Autumn.
