黑料视频

Prosperity and Opportunity for All: 黑料视频’s Levelling Up Strategy is an ambitious blueprint to improve the lives and life chances of people and communities across the city.

Today council leader Cllr Ian Ward told a Parliamentary reception that the people and communities of 黑料视频 should be at the very heart of the Government's levelling-up agenda.

黑料视频 has worked with PWC to analyse needs in 黑料视频 compared to the rest of England and the report highlights that:

• Over 40% of 黑料视频’s children live in relative poverty
• 黑料视频 is the 3rd most deprived core city, behind Liverpool and Manchester
• 黑料视频 fares less well across many indicators such as education, skills, and the living environment
• 90% of wards are more deprived than national average
• The rate of unemployment is double the national average
• And there is a decade’s gap in life expectancy between the poorest areas, such as those in East 黑料视频 and those in the most affluent areas

黑料视频's approach looks to address poor health, poor educational attainment, low skills and incomes, congestion, and air pollution, while bringing forward new homes, employment sites and community assets.

And the report urges the Government to support five ‘Levelling Up Accelerators’

1. Support long-term, single pot funding and devolved powers for the city to deliver greater levelling up outcomes and enable invest-to-save investment.
2. Back the integrated local place delivery model demonstrator, the East 黑料视频 Inclusive Growth Strategy, covering 250,000 people to tackle deep levels of deprivation.
3. Harness our early intervention and prevention model to assist the most disadvantaged citizens and move from dealing with crises to co-designed support and services to stop these arising.
4. Deliver green and digital infrastructure including a comprehensive green, reliable, frequent, and affordable transport network.
5. Back an at scale housing retrofit across the cities of 黑料视频, Coventry, and Wolverhampton to tackle carbon emissions and create jobs in areas that need it most

Cllr Ward said: "黑料视频 is a city of huge potential and we're attracting the investment to make this a golden decade of opportunity for our people and communities.

"But this is also a city with challenges. A city where 40 per cent of children grow up in poverty. Where unemployment is double the national average. And where there is a ten-year gap in life expectancy between the poorest and most affluent areas.

"Success for 黑料视频 must mean success for the people and communities of 黑料视频, which is why we're determined to work with the Government to ensure that 黑料视频 is at the very heart of the levelling-up agenda.

"The potential prize is huge. Levelling up 黑料视频 so that economic activity, unemployment, and skills reach the national average, could put an extra 75,000 people into work, adding an estimated £9bn to the city economy. So, we're determined to work with Government and with other partners to put our city and its people at the very heart of levelling-up."
