Manufacturers call for permanent infrastructure authority
"Political prevarication and policy reversal" are a major roadblock to infrastructure planning, says EEF
A permanent infrastructure authority is vital to improve long-term strategic planning of key transport and energy projects, according to manufacturers.
In a new paper published today the EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, has called for a new body to end what it calls "decades of political wrangling and poor planning" when it comes to maintaining and improving the country's roads, rail links, airport capacity and energy sector.
Currently the UK lacks the institutional framework to identify, plan and deliver major projects, according to the report, which results in projects being identified too late for a proper assessment or public debate, leading to infrastructure projects being forced through with desperate necessity and the associated high costs associated of such an approach.
EEF business environment policy adviser Chris Richards, said: "Political prevarication and policy reversals have left Britain in the slow lane in developing its infrastructure for decades.
"The neglect of our roads, the indecision on expanding airport capacity and, the agonising over high speed rail routes connecting our major cities have only served to exacerbate the feeling that Britain's infrastructure is not geared up to support growth.
"We now have the opportunity to put in place a new independent system that will aid long-term planning supporting more of a consensus based approach in identifying future needs. All political parties need to commit to this in their forthcoming manifestos.
"In a nutshell, a UK Infrastructure Authority would add value by horizon scanning for future challenges, and ensuring debates are backed by trusted analysis."
The proposal would see the creation of a single UK Infrastructure Authority similar to other independent government institutions such as the UK Statistics Authority, Committee on Climate Change, Airports Commission and Office for Budget Responsibility.
The body would be set up as a Non-Ministerial Government Department – allowing it to maintain impartiality, while also having the flexibility to work across Government – with a parent board accountable to parliament.
Every five years, the authority will be tasked with developing a new National Infrastructure Assessment which would look ahead at the country's infrastructure needs over a ten, twenty and fifty year horizon at both national and regional levels to identify future challenges and trends and outline when decisions will need to be made.
The public, businesses, political parties and others will then be consulted on the long term assessments and invited to submit their own ideas for projects before a final decision is made by the Government of the day, underpinned by independent analysis from the authority.
The EEF suggest that the authority would also be tasked with providing an annual progress report to Parliament that would show what progress is being made in the development of infrastructure projects and concepts, and highlight the viability of solutions which may have been proposed.
Crucially, the EEF says the proposals it would facilitate greater consensus on the most important infrastructure challenges of the future and minimise the stop start approach to project development.
A Treasury spokesperson said: "The Government's National Infrastructure Plan is designed to deliver the world class infrastructure the UK needs to compete. It is a key part of the Government's long term economic plan with the Government investing in infrastructure around the country to create a more balanced, resilient economy.
"This year over 200 new projects worth an estimated £36bn are due to start, creating thousands of jobs, securing future growth and delivering the world class infrastructure Britain deserves."

Has anyone had any experience with this daycare? We are seriously considering it for our soon to be one year old baby girl. It looks great and the owner emailed back right away with details that sound perfect for my needs... I just don't know anyone who has used this daycare. We are fairly new to the area. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

We're visiting tomorrow in person! I've exchanged a few emails with the owner and she has been pretty fantastic actually. She has her degree in Early Childhood Education. They have home cooked organic meals. They have an hour of Spanish immersion every morning. ( I want my daughter to be bilingual so that is a huge plus) and she just seems like a very nurturing and intelligent person over all. She took the time to answer a million questions I had and I found her answers to be reassuring. So far I'm impressed. Oh and it seems summer is a good time to start since many people are on vacation so they can give my baby more attention. She is almost a year old btw.

Khloe Kardashian has reportedly filed for divorce from her estranged husband, Lamar Odom.
TMZ reports that the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star filed the legal documents on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences and planning to drop Odom from her name.
The couple has been married for four years and has no children, with TMZ noting that a divorce should be fairly simple due to an ironclad prenup.
Their relationship has been in flux for some time, beginning with Odom's alleged struggles with addiction and a DUI arrest earlier this year.
Sources add that the star was afraid of cutting things off while the athlete's behavior became increasingly troubling.
Yet Odom seems to be back on track in both his personal and professional life, as an offer to join the Los Angeles Clippers is reportedly close to a done deal.
Kardashian allegedly reached a breaking point when a video of Odom rapping what appears to be a cheating confession was obtained by TMZ.

Kate Middleton and Prince William Do an Outfit Change For an Evening Event
Prince William and Kate Middleton continued their busy week with a royal appearance at the Imperial War Museum in London today. They attended a reception to launch the museum foundation's First World War Galleries with Kate donning a gray Amanda Wakeley dress for the occasion. It was Kate and Will's second outing of the day after honoring the Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole at another reception this morning. Kate wore a blue Rebecca Taylor look for the occasion, while Will suited up with a striped tie. The couple, who will celebrate their first wedding anniversary on Sunday, kicked off the string of events yesterday when they stepped out for the movie premiere of African Cats.

Hi, My name is Stan, and I study 3D animation in San Francisco. I will be
graduating from the Academy of Art
University this May with a 2nd BFA in Character Animation. It's
my dream to animate a creature for a feature film with ILM (Industrial Light and
Magic). Working with Pixar/Disney would be cool too, but ILM is the
dream. 3D animation is a lot of work, so it keeps me very busy. As
busy as I am, I think I could allocate a couple of hours out of a
week to have a mutually stimulating conversation where there would
be a mutual attraction that could eventually lead to a
relationship. I'm attracted to women that are into fitness, and have a drive to
accomplish a goal in something they have a passion for. I think I
could fall in love with a woman that was a 3d artist like myself. There would be
so much we could learn from each other.
I am new, friendly, and curious

Kanturk Ladies Football Club ready for the new season
The Kanturk Ladies Football Club introduced all the players, from under 8 to the under 16, to their coaches and mentors for this year at a players meeting in the GAA Clubhouse last Saturday.
Noel Horgan The early indications were that Cork might struggle to achieve the desired result in last Saturday night's NHL encounter with Clare at Pairc Ui Rinn.
Kanturk Intermediate footballers, who lined out on Saturday in Kildorrery without key players Anthony Nash, Aidan Walsh, Lorcan McLoughlan, John Browne, John Healy, Eoin O'Connor Liam O'Keeffe and Ian Walsh proved they will be very difficult to beat in the upcoming County IFC.
The general perception at the start of the season was that the Cork footballers would be hard-pressed to make an impact in the National League.
Having recorded victories over St Vincent's and Glanworth in their first two outings, Mallow's Premier Intermediate footballers made it three wins from as many games in the current Rochestown Park Hotel sponsored County FL Division 3 when they defeated Mitchelstown in an all North Cork encounter at Mallow on Sunday.
Noel Horgan Cork senior football manager Brian Cuthbert will have Michael Shields, Paddy Kelly and Daniel Goulding available for selection for the League game against Donegal this Sunday, which Cuthbert expects to be his team's toughest test so far in the National League.
The Kanturk Intermediate footballers made the trip to Cork a winning one when they took the league points on offer at the expense of Premier Intermediate side, Na Piarsaigh on Sunday last 15th February.
The Kanturk Ladies Football Club introduced all the players, from under 8 to the under 16, to their coaches and mentors for this year at a players meeting in the GAA Clubhouse last Saturday.
Defending champions Boherbue were forced to dig deep to overcome Ballydesmond in the opening series of games to the Ducon Cup.
Noel Horgan It looked a difficult result to call at half time, but the picture had changed dramatically midway through the second half of last Saturday night's NHL encounter at Pairc Ui Rinn.
DIARMUID SHEEHAN Brian Cuthbert saw his side take another two National League points last weekend as his charges got off to the best possible start in this season's competition.
It's often been said that history has a habit of repeating itself, and Jimmy Barry-Murphy will be hoping that such will prove to be the case should the Cork hurlers collect the National League title this season.

Featured news
"The facts are simple. In June of 2010, Andrew Auernheimers co-defendant Daniel Spitler discovered that AT&Ts servers were publishing email addresses of iPad subscribers on the servers authentication log in page when queried with a SIM card number that matched an existing AT&T subscribers SIM card number. Upon discovering this, Spitler wrote an iterative script that queried AT&Ts publicly accessible iPad servers and copied over 120,000 email addresses. No password or any type of security was ever hacked, nor was any attempt ever made to hack any password or bypass any existing security measures. In essence, what Spitlers script did could be done by anyone with a web browser who entered in the right combination of numbers into a URL," it is explained on a Computer Fraud and Abuse Defense Fund website.
"Auernheimer immediately went to the press with this information, and emailed some of the people whose email addresses were obtained. Neither Auernheimer nor Spitler did anything else with the information. At trial there was no evidence of any harm to anyone except for the allegation that AT&T was embarrassed by its failure to protect what it claimed was confidential information."
Despite all this, late last year Auernheimer has been found guilty on one count of identity fraud and one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization. After today's sentencing he was remanded to custody.
Auernheimer and Spitler were the only two members of the group to get charged for their role in the matter. Spitler pleaded guilty in 2011. Both have been ordered to pay AT&T $73,000 in damages.
When his prison stay ends, Auernheimer will still be required to be under supervision for three years.
