📈📉 Many towns and cities end up in a negative feedback loop that is incredibly challenging to escape, making it all the more impressive Rochdale is charting a path out of this, as the report authors state here 👇

I am excited to be working with The Productivity Institute on their excellent research into kickstarting productivity growth in the UK's towns and cities, improving lives and livelihoods in the process. They have completed an in depth report which puts Rochdale under the microscope.

What's more, an analysis of police records showed that over a two year period, police in Greater Manchester and Merseyside recorded only 81 individual offences involving women runners, despite another study showing that 25% of women runners regularly experience sexual abuse.

It's been an honour to be the policy engagement lead for Dr Miles & Prof Broad's research into the Abuse of Women Runners. This research is being taken seriously at the highest levels, as shown by our meeting yesterday with the Minister for Violence Against Women and Girls, Jess Phillips.
