In order to align the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority’s powers with its responsibilities following the government announcement that it would give mayoral combined authorities powers to borrow for their new functions and to invest in economically productive infrastructure, subject to agreeing a borrowing cap with HM Treasury
To maintain the status quo - this option was dismissed as this would not allow the combined authorities powers that reflected their new responsibilities.
