Local government financing

I came across this article recently:

It will be interesting to see if many councils go down this route.  It has attractions as it will enable capital schemes to proceed without making serious inroads into a Council's reserves.  All it requires is a modicum of creative thinking.  Ah well, sounded like a good idea.
