The national conversation on ‘levelling up’ should move on from “simplistic” dividing lines between north and south and towns and cities, research argues.
The Legatum Institute study says such “crude distinctions” gloss over “the considerable variation that exists both between and within regions”.
It also says many important factors that help create prosperity are being overlooked by an overly narrow focus on GDP, infrastructure and transport.
Other important things to consider include “the safety and security of communities”, people’s physical and mental health, the conditions for local business, social capital and the effectiveness of local governance, claims the report.
Bolton Town Hall Google Earth A NEW index to track the Government’s progress on its ‘levelling up’ agenda puts Bolton among the most deprived boroughs in the UK.

The institute uses traditional indicators such as infrastructure and transport alongside the safety and security of communities, people’s physical and mental health and the conditions for local enterprise as measures for its index. Overall Bolton ranks 330th out of 379 local authorities with a particular poor rating for safety and security, based largely on crime figures.
