#3 might be partially due to the recent increase in the minimum wage.

  Might be, but beside that the author clearly writes: "Some businesses in Harrogate are paying teenagers well above their minimum wage of £4.05 ($5.70) per hour, to tempt them into work".

    The NMW is 5.60 for teenagers of normal working wage under 18 there are resections on of the sorts of work teenagers <18 can do as they are all supposed to be at school or in training. The real NWM is £7.50 Also Harrogate is a posh spa town (like a small town in the Hamptons) so its not typical depressed northern town like say Blackpool or Hull - I suspect the author my have a probrexit agenda.
