Government Policy and Regen

• Deregulation of capital markets - allowed foreign investors invest in the UK - now represents 30% of GDP
• Immigration policy- previously the EU allowed free movement of labor which helped balance the UK’s aging population and increased tax revenue.
• Right to buy schemes has meant a decrease in social housing and high prices of housing.
• Under conservative govt:

  -local enterprise partnerships

  -city deals

  -elected mayor - power over how the city is run

  -coalfields regeneration trust.
