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
