Just wondered if anyone here has had any experience of using Salix Finance to help fund any traffic signal schemes or traffic signal aspects of larger highway schemes?

I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has - type of scheme, whether the process is easy/difficult to go through etc etc.

Thanks

Just 2 comments relating to my experience. Salix will only "provide funding for proven technologies which are cost effective in saving CO2" and you have to tender the job so you know the exact costings before they will verify that you can have the funding.]]> http://www.theihe.org/tsgforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=202&Focus=916#Comment_916 http://www.theihe.org/tsgforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=202&Focus=916#Comment_916 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:04:09 +0000 paulpickerill
However there is a discrepancy about payback. Personally, I couldn't make the maths work, but that was assuming modest rises in energy bills, and not factoring in penalties for missing the "energy saving" targets that LAs will face in a few years or modest savings on maintenance with the reduction in bulk lamp changes (and the associated environmental impact of chucking out thousands of lamps every year).

In Plymouth we looked at it but it was not pursued.
I gather Devon's LED replacement scheme was funded by a different method.

If anyone out there knows of any other funding streams, other than PFI or Prudential Borrowing, please please please would you be so kind as to let us know?

Cheers
