Very valid points about active travel investment paying for itself aside, I’m not really convinced that under £1bn a year capital investment in transport modes that account for a third of journeys should really be considered excessive.

With the full caveat that I have never managed a govt dept, as Wes Streeting knows very well having been health secretary, investment in active travel *pays for itself many times over* in better public health outcomes etc. Cutting investment is often a false economy, as the UK knows to its cost.
