CI TY FUTURES
Ironically, when Covid-19 struck, says the Centre for Cities report, those very factors meant that – like other ‘strong’ cities such as London, Birmingham and Oxford – ours lost more weeks of sales than other ‘weaker’ cities, where visitor numbers fell, but by a smaller percentage. Centre for Cities predicts that all the factors which contributed to our success before Covid-19 will ensure that post- pandemic, our popularity is as strong as before. Property prices seem to bear
that out. While our area has always been sought-after, it’s now home to one of the so-called golden postcodes, according to a recent survey – property in CB3 is ranked as some of the most desirable in the country. While there are plenty of success stories to celebrate, there’s still a long way to go when it comes to ensuring that the many people in our city, currently denied the same opportunities as others, are given the chance to thrive.
