Does anyone know the criteria that was supposedbly been used to decide on these enterprise zones?

I am getting more concerned my city is getting no breaks.

It has higher unemployment than both derby and nottingham and has a higher reliance on the public sector. Yet I was shocked to read both derby and nottingham are to be zones and leicester has no mention. So the criteria is obviously different to what I would expect, nottingham I know has many more marginal seats so it wouldnt surprise me if political reasons were a priority. Liverpool another surprise as that is not a poor city. Nothing in the norfolk area which has hideous unemployment.

It seems they going to do quite a lot to selected areas, tax breaks, planning permissions slacking, fibre broadband using public money.

I expected places like hull, newcastle, leicester, blackburn.
