An extra �78,000 of Government cash has been awarded to Darlington for the council's work in tackling congestion and improving transport safety. The money is a bonus for the council's good progress towards implementing its first local transport plan.
It is included in a total award of �2.8m for next year.
Additional funding from Cycling England will also be used to increase areas for cyclists in the town.
