L&G: Levelling up must be supported by affordable housing

The Legal & General Rebuilding Britain Index (RBI) has revealed that the provision of jobs and good quality affordable housing will define the UK’s progress in ‘building back better’. The RBI was established to measure the UK’s progress on a quarterly basis, following government commitments to ‘level up’ the economy; it found that measures to support recovery cannot be uniform or linear, with different nations, regions and communities needing to level up in different ways. The index tracks social and economic progress across the country, using a combination of statistical data and community opinion across 51 measures, including health and social care, education, housing, jobs and economic prosperity, environment, energy, transport and digital.

No simple north-south divide, says report There is no simple north-south divide, a new report by Legal and General (L&G) has argued. The L&G Rebuilding Britain Index (RBI) said the levelling up agenda should focus on the lack of economic investment in the north but shortages of housing in the south. It found ‘pockets of affluence and deprivation in all parts of the UK, challenging the notion of a north-south divide,’ with Cornwall scoring below average but some areas of the north well above average. Citing Edinburgh, Leeds and Cheshire East as the highest scoring, the report added: ‘Levelling up, therefore, needs to be focused at a local level - not regionally or nationally - addressing each communities’ challenges and priorities.’

Better jobs needed in Wales to support levelling up

“Our new Rebuilding Britain Index shows that investment priorities differ by area – but that job creation and affordable housing are the centrepiece to improving quality of life.” The index found that investment in job creation is particularly needed in Wales, the North of England and Northern Ireland. Wales reported a reading of 51 of out 100 regarding jobs and economic prosperity, with figures of 53 and 54 for the north of England and Northern Ireland respectively, in the data taken from a survey of more than 20,000 people. Meanwhile, London reported a score of 69 regarding jobs but received the lowest national score – 51 – when people were surveyed on housing.
