Progress in the Region

Yorkshire Futures released their Annual Report on regional development. It shows that on many areas the gap between the region and the English average has widened in the last year and that even if indicators are improving this is not as fast as the English average.
Key points:
• There is a slow in progress for many indicators – this could be due to consolidation or a tail off
• Improvements in employment, education and some environmental indicators
• But problems with high level skills (level 4+); transport, obesity; innovation; housing; violent crime; climate change and equalities.
