Local approach to fund infrastructure unveiled

Published: 2009-08-26 13:56:14

A new investment advisory group is set to drive forward the next generation of local infrastructure projects. (Sourced from LocalGov.co.uk.)
 
Local Partnerships, which launched this week, will offer councils and other public sector agencies support and advice for PFI, PPP and other funding mechanisms.

“This should not be seen as a short-term measure, but a long-term solution to fund infrastructure development.”

"The lack of transport infrastructure has been the main reason for the failure to regenerate the Nine Elms area," said Taylor. Neither Transport for London (TfL) nor government sources can fund the creation of the essential transport network required for the development to succeed. read more
