WE are told that the national average wage is approximately £26,000 per annum. In Worcester, it is probably less than half that amount.
In Liverpool, reckoned to be a deprived area, the average household income is £22,511 per annum. In Worcester it is less than £20,000.
Yet Liverpool is one of the places given priority in regard to central government grants. Worcester has less from Westminster/Whitehall handouts than any other town in the UK.
