Good Local Economics

The past few years have been very tough for households on low to middle incomes.  As we reported, over-indebtedness (the proportion of households spending 25% or more of their income on unsecured debt repayments) increased between 2012 and the end of 2014.

For too long we have either turned a blind eye to poverty and disadvantage or hoped that a general rising tide of economic wealth would trickle down.
