Capital finance
The Prudential System (Part 1 of the Local Government Act 2003) took effect from 1 April 2004. It is a modern, simple and transparent framework that encourages investment in the capital assets that local government needs to improve services and relies on modern accounting concepts, plus professional and self-regulation. It allows local authorities to raise finance for capital expenditure - without Government consent - where they can afford to service the debt without extra Government support.In this section
