Advice from South West England to Government, in January 2006, contained regional priorities for transport, housing and economic development, with indicative regional funding allocations to 2016.  
 
The advice was provided in the context of the emerging 'refreshed' Regional Economic Strategy (RES) and the Integrated Regional Strategy.  
 
The announcement from the Department for Transport (DfT) on 6 July 2006 relates to transport elements of the RFA advice only. 
 
The news release, RDA welcomes Government's £951 million to spend on transport improvements provides more information and the document, Regional Funding Allocation for the South West: Questions and Answers (Adobe Acrobat Reader Document - 111.35kb) includes some answers to frequently asked questions.
