THE GREATER London Council will take the biggest chunk of the money allocated to local authorities for capital spending on roads next year.
The GLC is to get a grant of £27.9m under the transport supplementary grant settlement announced last week by Transport Secretary Nicholas Ridley.
Overall the Government is passing £120m to local authorities in England, for their road programmes.
The six metropolitan counties will receive £29m between them, with the West Midlands getting £9m. The shire counties will share £103m.
The system for handing out TSG has been altered this year so that current spending, which covers bus subsidies, is included in the rate support grant settlement.
In 1984/85, the grant for current spending under TSG is £226.3 m.
