Budget 2012: steady as we go nowhere for poorest places

‘Now’t round here. This town is going down the tubes’. So said an elderly participant in a focus group I conducted this week. We weren’t talking about granny tax or even the Budget, but exploring the future of places and neighbourhoods in a northern town. The Budget undoubtedly has some good things for the already winning local places and economies, but scant help to those which are losing. It’s a Budget which will accelerate regional and local economic division.
