The PFI is a trojan horse that we should be wary of.

totally against this policy..all it has done/will do is allowed the council to get away with its negligence on the maintanance front.
It will lead to even more cuts in budgets elsewhere because they have been using the cash for highways maintance on other things and they simply be handing that budget in it entirety to the PFI companies

Having worked for and been made redundant from a PFI firm after it spent (for ‘Spent’ read ‘Wasted’) all the money employing people from India who have never worked in construction in the UK or on giving all the senior management nice cars,and had to go into administration, ANY PFI scheme is a real worry. I am also concerned that the IWC do not have a good… Read more »

The key words here may be that they will ‘work to see how these projects can be delivered affordably.’ To my eyes this suggests a clear get out. All the government need do in future weeks and months is claim that our PFI could not be delivered affordably so they have decided to scrap it. In that case we would have spent millions on something that never… Read more »

Told you so. They were warned about PFI, we told them. We said it would cost a packet and we will still be paying for it in years to come with the next deficit.We told ’em, they would not listen. They are goons – and dingbats even.

I am amazed and saddened that so many people can condem something that can only be good for this Island. This is free money to the island – a grant, not a loan!! Its a bit like winning the lottery and saying I’m not taking the money!!

It’s not a grant it’s a loan. The repayments will cripple us. All of us want better roads, PFI schemes are the government equivalent of credit cards at extortionate rates of interest.

You are talking rubbish. It is not a loan. It is a grant that the Council does not have to repay. Like so many people on this blog you are blind to the truth.

i thought the council had to commit to paying their entire roads maintainence budget every year… hardly free money.

If you seriously beleive anything is free in this world, you are deluded. You dont get owt for nowt.

are you crazy….it will cost us the councils budget for highway maintance (11 million) every year for the duration of the contract (20 Years)

The council has never spent this entire budget on the roads..the avergae being about 6 million..the difference being used on ‘other things’…these ‘other things’ will now either not be paid for or will find their money from somewhere else.

Either way…WE PAY

Those Tories certainly have succeeded in pulling the wool over your eyes Ron. To think you criticise Labours fiscal policy and then come out with this.

For gods sake i wish people would read up on the pfi before stating a load of codswallop. The PFI is a grant and the council will not pay a penny of the actual pfi back. As part of the deal though, the budget that the council has each year for highway maintenance has to also be paid into the pot. So the council although tied to… Read more »

Nibbles, if this goes ahead the total spent on the PFI from IWC income each year will far exceed the total spent in the past twenty years. Where will the present mob and future councilllors find this money? I think the asnwer is obvious, cuts and rises.

The council has never spent more than 6.5 million of its highways budget of the 11 Million pot…. The council will pay a penny…..11 Million of them. They also employ a team to manage these PFI claims at a cost in excess of £300,000 in wages. And what do we get…roads that council should have been maintaining properly for the last 20 years brought up to scratch… Read more »

Monbiot explains PFI pretty well: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/nov/22/pfi-private-finance-refuse-debt

Did we hear back from Nibbles/Ron/I deal in facts?
