It's possible that it was changed to be the Prudential Borrowing mentioned in the Telegraph article posted by SkyBlueCharlie and that's the answer, otherwise as you say 'Odd'.
Dug a bit further...it would appear that the Prudential Borrowing Regime is a policy not a fund as such and was introduced so that LAs etc who were deemed to be responsible with their accounts could borrow beyond the normal government limits. In the past they would have borrowed that money from the PWLB but recently have been allowed to borrow on the open market if they can get a better rate and to some extent some LAs have gone into the Gilts market, perhaps this is what CCC have done? Certainly there is no record of them borrowing from the PWLB up to and including September this year. We may have to wait until CCC publish their accounts for this year to find out where the money came from.
