All available funding for the delivery of works under the Smarter Travel Programme 2014 - 2016 and the Government Stimulus Package 2014/2015 is now fully committed. However, it is likely, given the popularity and success of the works already delivered, that funding may become available from other sources over the coming years. The EU Structural Funds Programme 2014 -2020 is currently being finalised and there are opportunities for cycle infrastructure development, including Greenways, under the Interreg and the Rural Development Programmes. I understand that a number of local authorities are already positioning themselves to benefit from such opportunities.
