England’s most deprived areas to get worse by next election, report for No 10 finds

The country’s most deprived neighbourhoods will have higher crime rates and worse unemployment by the end of the parliament, according to a report written at the request of No 10. The forecasts from the Independent Commission on Neighbourhoods (Icon) show crime rates and unemployment will rise until the next election in England’s 613 most deprived neighbourhoods, despite the government’s promises to invest in local communities. The report’s authors warn the extra money ministers have pumped in is not enough to counteract longer-term trends such as the increase in antisocial behaviour and the problems facing the retail and hospitality sectors.

I put forth by cutting money to the private sector and super affluent, the antisocial behavior there will be sharply curbed, while also properly funding underserved populations.
