East Riding of Yorkshire Council welcomed Transport for the North chair Lord Patrick McLoughlin and chief executive Martin Tugwell to the county last week to showcase the East Riding and some of its recent infrastructure projects, as well as highlighting some of the transport challenges the county faces.
The visit came ahead of the announcement that the East Riding will receive £168million of additional funding over the next seven years as part of the Government's £4.7 billion Local Transport Fund. Under the new fund, £2.5billion of HS2 funding has been reallocated to improve local transport connections in the North.
