Local infrastructure schemes in England are set to benefit from a new public-private initiative to get projects off the ground.
As part of the new Local Infrastructure Demonstrator Partnership pilots, leading private sector professionals are working for free alongside Government partners to identify and overcome problems that have been hindering infrastructure projects that could otherwise be creating new jobs and growth.
Five areas will be involved in the pilots initially: in Blackpool, Grantham, Northamptonshire, Norwich and Swindon.
The private sector-led teams comprise representatives from the Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) and Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), with other senior public and private sector partners also making significant contributions.
