Where's the investment in these towns? These regenerations you are talking about only benefit the upper class and rich, not the likes of you and me. Maybe I should have said ghost town as regards the working class or poorer class families. I stand by my statement.[COLOR="Silver"]

The upper class or rich in Middlesbrough.... So are these people already here? Or are they moving in from out of the area, regardless it's money being pumped into the local economy.
There are major developments in Easington, Peterlee and Wheatley Hill also which means money will be spent on the economy,
Look at the expenditure on Stockton High Street for example, again improvement for people in all walks of life. Sunderland, the money spent on the sea front
Middlesbrough is not without it's faults, however to class as a ghost town for the working class and poor simply isn't true.
How would you, regenerate the areas?
