UK needs Europe-style private funding for transport projects, review says
An independent review commissioned by the Labour Party has called for the UK government to adopt a European-style model of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to finance major transport projects. The review, led by former Siemens UK chief executive Juergen Maier and produced by the Urban Transport Group (UTG), emphasised the need for a more integrated partnership between the public and private sectors to address the country’s pressing infrastructure needs.
