Unemployment crisis ravages Cleveland as local policies fail to diversify economy
Local government policies in Cleveland from 1963 to 1982 aimed to boost the economy but faced challenges. The study looked at how these policies were formed and their impacts. The focus was on industrial land allocation, industrial estate provision, and urban renewal in Middlesbrough. The policies helped companies like ICI and BSC restructure, but the local economy still struggled with high unemployment due to global competition and changes in industries. Conflicts arose between different groups with varying interests.
