Populations Ageing: Decades Towns

populations ageing: For over four decades towns have watched as good jobs disappear, only to be replaced with low-paid insecure work, according to The Independent. When investment was made available it went to the cities in the hope the benefits would trickle out to towns. For the first time, after decades of neglect, the government has recognised that the current settlement doesn't work for our nation's towns and has not done so for some time. Largely, they didn't. The prime minister recognised that these towns are proud places with rich heritage. In towns across Britain the loss of those good jobs has cost us spending power and footfall, leaving our high streets struggling, our transport networks decimated and our populations ageing rapidly as young people increasingly move away looking for better opportunities elsewhere.
