Think tank calls on Northerners to move to the South

August 13, 2008

Northern cities such as Liverpool are beyond revival and millions of their residents should move to London and the South East instead, a think tank said today.

Policy Exchange said a mass internal migration was the only answer to a decade of failed efforts to concentrate regeneration cash on other parts of the country.

All of the three million new homes planned by the Government should be shared equally between the capital city, Oxford and Cambridge, it concluded in a radical report published today.

And money currently being pumped into renewal projects and back-to-work schemes should instead be given directly to councils according to local wage levels to spend on regeneration measures.
