Where do you read that in the attached document? W.r.t. the public
highway as an asset, paragraph 8 basically rules out transfer, as
Wiltshire Council has a statutory role as Highways Authority. This
document relates to a Draft Policy, so it may or not actually happen
(dated Nov 2017). The letter refers to an asset transfer that has
already happened, from Wiltshire to Salisbury City Council, but that was
quite limited in its scope:

Dangerous paragraph 21 about funding for delegated services: the parish
council gets responsibility, without any additional money. They might be
lucky and get the freehold of a swimming pool (operated by a third
party) for example by way of compensation...
