that's interesting, thanks. FWIW I think that the large towns in the north of England are a huge opportunity for the UK; they have extensive infrastructures and could provide excellent standards of living for their inhabitants. Many friends have relocated there as soon as they have secured a solid remote role - or on retirement. Access to countryside, a better local infrastructure and cheaper housing are very attractive. If economic activity could be boosted there I think it would create a lot of hidden value.
