Answer
The Blue/Green infrastructure funding is Capital DEL. Any bike voucher repair scheme would have to be funded from Resource DEL – as is the case with the English scheme. Capital DEL may not be used to fund Resource expenditure and so this proposal would not be feasible. I can assure you the Blue/Green infrastructure fund is being utilised to support cycling in other ways.
