Just like Co Durham suffered with ‘D’ category villages in the 60’s. Evidence of total lack of ‘Levelling Up’ by mainly Tory governments. Lack of investment to promote jobs ,lack of infrastructure but mainly lack of interest in the area. Compare this to Greater London and Home Counties and money hoyed into Manchester, Leeds ,West Midlands and Liverpool. Only fit to house a nuclear power plant !!! As far away from south east as possible.I agree with that, several places in that area are the same now, most haven't changed in years.
