Levelling Up: How is it going so far?

All Episodes

May 30, 2024 • 28 mins

Ahead of the General Election on July 4th, we’re taking a look at one of the key policies from the 2019 Conservative manifesto. Levelling up promised to boost Britain’s “left behind” areas, and helped Boris Johnson storm to victory as voters in former Labour heartlands turned to the Tories in droves. You can find out more by listening to our episode from April 2022, titled “Levelling up: what it really means for the north” But have the Conservatives actually managed to deliver on their promise since then? The North in Numbers takes over the podcast this week, with Annie Gouk speaking to local leaders, policy experts and academics to find out how it’s going. Learn more about your ad choices.
