A think tank formed to help communities struggling with economic regeneration is keeping the impact of 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏, on the agenda
The Centre for Towns, founded in collaboration with Professor Will Jennings - 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏, expert in political science and public policy - has identified the UK towns most affected by the short and long-term economic effects of the pandemic.
In 2020 the Centre published the ‘网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏, and our Towns’ report which gives a wealth of insights about the towns most impacted by:
- economic exposure as a result of the government shutdown
- socio-economic resilience to the effects of the pandemic
Will observes: “It became clear that places with a certain economic mix would be especially badly hit. Economically, the pandemic will not impact the country evenly.”
Highlighting economic imbalances
The report finds that coastal and ex-industrial towns were particularly vulnerable with 4 sectors highlighted:
- 网络彩票APP下载_澳客彩票网-官方游戏,
- non-food retail
- pubs and restaurants
- arts and leisure
Will said: "We want to remind people of the fundamental issues raised by our country’s social and economic geography, rather than letting electoral politics dictate the agenda on the places that matter.”
