20mph Zone Application Result
Dear 20mph Funding Applicants,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am writing to make you aware of the outcome of the 2024/25 budget year 20mph funding application process following the conclusion of the October 2024 Highways and Transportation Committee Meeting. The full report can be found here – Council and committee meetings – Cambridgeshire County Council > Meetings Calendar (cmis.uk.com)
Prioritised list –
Please find attached to this email the prioritised list for funding; those highest 8 ranked applications placed above the red line are now approved for delivery. Unfortunately, this does mean that a lot of applications were not successful for funding this time because the funding is limited. I appreciate this will be a cause of disappointment and feedback can be arranged via return email to this address.
Next steps for those receiving funding –
Officers have been in contact with those successful applicants to progress those respective applications accordingly. They will be the main point of contact over the entire duration of the project. At the earliest, these schemes could be operationally delivered from late summer 2025 onwards.
Future applications –
Those existing unsuccessful applicants in the prioritised list will have the opportunity to resubmit updated applications for next year’s 20mph funding – we recommend that this scenario occurs. Alternatively, those existing applications can remain as current and rollover into the next application round.
We are planning to reopen the window for new applications for 20mph funding from Monday 27th January 2025, and the application window is due to close Friday 28th March 2024 at 5pm.
There are plans to provide an engagement session with prospective applicants before the opportunity to apply occurs, there will be a communication about this in late November 2024.
There is work occurring to review and update the 20mph website pages to provide additional information and assistance to applicants. Any constructive feedback you have as applicants about the website and the process as a whole is welcomed and would be considered and actioned where practicable.
Kind regards,
