When is a City Deal not a City Deal? When it’s got the thumbs up from Nick Clegg but no go-ahead from the Treasury. Even so, Preston – the ‘powerhouse’ of Central Lancashire – is confident it will secure the prize. Mark Cantrell reports
From the green grass of Cheshire’s rolling hills to the shimmering glass of Manchester’s 21st Century skyline, rebirth and regeneration is changing the shape of these archetypes of leafy affluence and urban grit

A desire to change the world is a common idealism for those contemplating politics, but as Sir Richard Leese told Mark Cantrell, becoming a Manchester councillor, and then council leader, did allow him to take part in changing the city

The Tees Valley in the North East hosts some global players in hi-tech manufacturing and engineering, but that doesn’t mean to say there are no issues of deprivation and modernisation to overcome. Regeneration chiefs are aiming to meet the challenges and ensure the city region has a prosperous and resilient future
There was a time when a good chunk of the Red Rose county was treated as part of neighbouring Yorkshire. Those Normans, eh, but when the Conqueror’s auditors went out to compile the Domesday Book in 1086, Lancashire as we understand it didn’t exist
Merseyside has a rich and varied history and its housing landscape has changed considerably over the years from the slum clearances of the 1960s to the controversial Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder programme but how will it shape up for the future?
Besides Liverpool, Merseyside is home to the metropolitan boroughs of Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens and – situated on the opposite side of the River Mersey – Wirral.
One way or another, it’s about the future. That seems a neat summation of the South Yorkshire story as we partake of a cursory examination of this once-heavyweight industrial heartland as it charts the next chapter of its story. Mark Cantrell reports.

Tyne and Wear identifies one of the UK’s major urban areas, consisting of five unitary authorities working together to create a joint, as well as their own individual, future. Newcastle and Gateshead very much form the core of the conurbation
You might say the River Tyne once separated Newcastle from its neighbour Gateshead, but nowadays it’s rather more the case that they are bound in union by the waters that flow between them.
West Yorkshire has long been the economic engine room of the white rose region, but for all its urbanised modernity it remains but a sum of a greater whole – there have always been but three Ridings
There’s nowhere quite like Yorkshire. Famed for its cricket, its pudding, and its rivalry with them Lancastrians on t’other side o’ t’Pennines, Tykes tend towards a stubborn patriotism some might consider unseemly for the residents of a ‘mere’ county.
