A few thoughts for the future
• Public Sector – ringmaster role as important as service delivery
• Forward funding infrastructure through borrowing against future receipts/income
• Sharing risk with the private sector- easing cashflows- building confidence
• Regeneration – creating housing, employment and community benefit
• Engaging with other ‘public’ assets e.g. Network Rail, Environment Agency, Highways England, Transport Bodies
