Local Transport Plan Part 2

A small fact that may (or may not of interest) - it was to me but then I'm a bit geeky.

We spent £180 million on transport activities in Cheshire over the last two years:

Capital Expenditure: £39.8 million
Highways revenue expenditure: £44.02 million
Revenue expenditure on passenger transport services: £98.8 million
External funding: £6.1 million.

Quite a lot of our cash - and over half goes on "revenue expenditure", which as far as I can work out means subsidised buses.

Although when you compare that to the £50 million that will be spent this year on the Alderley Edge bypass, it puts into context the scale of our spending transport.

Interestingly the capital expenditure is a bit misleading, as £25 million of that was reported to be spent on maintenance rather than on new projects - so pretty much all of the £180 million is spent on business as usual.
