  1. If the governments Leveling Up initiative was anything more than a cynical attempt to keep the red brick voters on side they could buy up hundreds of these properties, bulldoze them and recreate the communities which used to live here with modern housing with gardens and amenities and offer incentives to tech industries to establish themselves in the area to provide the jobs. Just the construction work itself would be a huge boost to the local economy.
