This represents a two-thirds reduction of funding in England, and leaves just £100m for active travel in the current financial year.&nbsp; Cycling and walking contributed £36.5bn to the UK economy in 2021, according to Sustrans.&nbsp; Ned, Laura and Adam convene to discuss what's happening and the impact it'll have.
