Assessment made by DfT of Gloucestershire County Council use of Tranche 1 EATF funding

The request was successful.

Christopher Chiswell

Dear Department for Transport,

Thank you for the exciting reaffirmation today of the department's clarity on delivering safe spaces through the Emergency Active Travel Fund, and the growing leadership of the department in this space.

My own local authority sadly received less than its potential allocation, based on the assessment of the effectiveness of its response and implementation of Phase 1 tranche monies. I would like to understand the reasons my local authority underperformed, to help local residents support elected members to achieve improved outcomes.

I would like to request;
1) The assessment tool used to evaluate and score the success of tranche 1 funding and tranche 2 proposals for a local authority
2) The information used by the department to evaluate Gloucestershire county council's tranche 1 schemes, and subsequently to determine the tranche 2 award
3) The scoring and comments made on the submitted Gloucestershire county council bid, the feedback provided to the local authority, and any related correspondence.

With thanks,

Yours faithfully,

Christopher Chiswell

Dear John Sweetman,

Appreciate the comprehensive reply and the information received. This is really helpful to understand why the Gloucestershire County Council scheme proposals failed to meet the DfT expectations.

Grateful for the time given to preparing the response, and received with thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Christopher Chiswell
