How city council spent £29m of transport cash

And it didn’t all go on the revamp of Station Road!

COUNCIL leaders have revealed exactly how £29 million of transport funding has been spent in Stoke-on-Trent.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council was awarded the cash from the government's Transforming Cities Fund (TCF), aimed at boosting public transport around the country.

The city council spent the bulk of its TCF money on two major capital projects in Station Road and College Road, with smaller sums being allocated to other transport schemes.

But following inaccurate claims on social media that the entire £29 million was spent on the recently-completed Station Road improvements, the council has now published an itemised list of its TCF spending.
