Unleashing the potential of the UK?s cities
urban futures
Last week, I spoke at the launch of a new national report highlighting the crucial role cities can play in boosting the country?s economic growth to increase people?s prosperity and help the UK meet its net-zero targets.
The report from the UK Urban Futures Commission states that although Core Cities which include Nottingham, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield have undergone a locally-led transformation over the past twenty years, there is still much to do to ensure they reach their full potential.?
Following the recommendations will not only benefit the people of those cities but their surrounding regions and the whole of the UK.? Bringing the UK?s Core Cities up to their European peers has the potential to add ?100bn (around five per cent) to GDP each year and if social outcomes could mirror those in London, then this would lift 250,000 people out of unemployment, 1.2million out of poverty and increase healthy life expectancy by up to eight years.

Support for Wilko?s staff at risk of redundancy
It?s been sad to see the collapse of Wilko which has been a fixture on high streets in Nottingham and up and down the country for so long. Of course, it will be a particularly difficult time for those people in the city directly affected as a Wilko employee and their families. The Futures service provides support for people at risk of redundancy, working in partnership with the DWP.
There are two routes for seeking help.? People can either call the free helpline on 0800 917 9419 which is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4.30pm or they can book directly on to a Futures workshop here [ [link removed] ]
The workshops delivered online over Teams include CV refresh/development, interview skills, general employability and Civil Service application support, plus job seeking advice and post-workshop support.
