So now you give a monkey’s? The policy wonk’s guide to Hartlepool

This briefing illustrates the depth and breadth of the UK’s regional growth challenge by exploring some of the less-discussed issues at stake in the Hartlepool by-election, taking place on 6th May, 2021.

Whilst political attention is largely trained on the party politics and votes at stake in Hartlepool, there is much that policymakers can learn by looking at the North East constituency. Displaying many of the characteristics of the kinds of places the Government wants to ‘level up’, Hartlepool serves as a reminder of the scale of that challenge. Data presented in this briefing covers topics including health and education, often absent from the national conversation on delivering more for ‘left behind’ communities.
