Shropshire Star:
Telford less likely to be hit by hard Brexit than other UK towns and cities
28 July 2017
Telford will be among the UK towns least-affected by a hard Brexit, a report claims – although economists today denied its suggestion that a lack of skills in the town will cushion the blow.
Researchers at the think tank Centre for Cities and the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics published the report into the effect of Brexit on local economies.
In it, the think tank claims areas with greater skills bases will also be those that are hit the hardest by withdrawing from access to the European single market.
