Motorists face tolls to cover road costs

MOTORISTS face tolls on all new roads built after the Government yesterday indicated that the private sector will be brought in to handle major public works around the country.

A new borrowing agency, which plans to raise anything up to 10 billion from the private sector over the next five years, means private firms will play a bigger role in building roads, schools and hospitals than ever before.

The National Development Finance Agency is essentially a one-stop shop for State agencies seeking money for major projects and will provide advice on how to secure the best value for money.
