Overview

• The government confirmed Suffolk will receive £27.082 million through the Local Transport Grant across 2026/27 to 2029/30.
• Suffolk will also get £607,000 a year for three years in additional resource funding to bolster planning and delivery capacity.
• Officials say LTG money can fund public transport improvements, zero‑emission buses, congestion relief, pedestrian crossings and safer cycling routes.
• Local leaders, including Ipswich MP Jack Abbott and Suffolk County Council’s Chris Chambers, welcomed the settlement as a boost for access to jobs and longer‑term planning.
• The A12 east of Ipswich upgrade is proceeding, the Ely/Haughley junction remains unfunded, and formal guidance on LTG spending is due later this year as coverage notes differing national totals of £1.3bn for LTG and £2.3bn under the Plan for Change.
