§ Mr. LazarowiczTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions how many home zones are(a) in force and (b) under preparation or development, broken down by local authority. [18854]
§ Ms KeebleWe are currently monitoring nine pilot home zone projects in England and Wales. The pilot schemes are in Ealing, Lambeth, Leeds, Manchester, Monmouthshire, Nottingham, Peterborough, Plymouth and Sittingbourne. A number of local authorities have implemented home zones outside of the pilot project.
A £30 million challenge fund for home zones in England was announced by the Prime Minister in April. 237 bids were received from 110 local traffic authorities. We hope to announce details of the successful schemes before Christmas.
