Supplementary memorandum submitted by

County Council (ST 32b)
Not an easy question to answer as the schemes
often combine revenue and capital funding sources at varying scales
depending on each individual school. However, as a rule of thumb
an "average" rural primary "safer routes to school"
programme can vary from £15-£30,000 (from which up to
20% could be revenue funding). For an urban primary this can increase
to between £30-£80,000 (again this figure includes a
maximum of 20% revenue). A typical secondary school costs between
£50-£150,000 (including revenue costs around 25%). Finally,
the current team of advisers are funded through a bursary grant
of £161,000 for each of the next two financial years.
