The Infrastructure
Forum
The Infrastructure Forum bring together the key players in infrastructure, whether investors, operators, contractors, economic regulators or professional advisors. It has become the meeting place for confidential and constructive discussion about ways to promote the development of infrastructure networks in the UK and to broaden the range of options available to policymakers and regulators.
The expertise of its team, the knowledge and experience of its specialised working groups, and its excellent trusted relationships with public authorities and agencies in the UK and internationally all contribute to its effectiveness.

OPEN LETTER TO NO.10
THE INFRASTRUCTURE FORUM
The Infrastructure Forum has sent an open letter to the Prime Minister highlighting key elements in developing critical national infrastructure projects and addressing the approaches which will best facilitate this. The letter, signed by Richard Threlfall, Chair of TIF’s Advisory Council, emphasises the role of the Prime Minister himself, noting that it is his continuing personal support and engagement that can ensure Government Departments align behind policies to drive pace and efficiency in infrastructure investments. The proposed National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) must, the letter says, be established in a way that provides it with high levels of authority and allows independent expertise and knowledge to be deployed in a transparent way. Amongst other proposals the letter highlights the need for far reaching review of HMT’s Green Book if the private finance needed to power growth is to be encouraged.
