"Coventry named in top ten places to live and work in UK"

[dutchman]

Coventry has been named in the top ten places to live and work in the UK.



Our city ranked in tenth place according to a table produced in The 2015 Good Growth for Cities Index, an annual report which measures the performance of the UK’s largest cities.

The research was carried out by Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC) and think-tank Demos, with the criteria for deciding the best places to live and work including housing affordability, employment rates, income and skills, commuting times and environment.

Top spot was taken by Reading & Bracknell, with the likes of Oxford, Edinburgh and Belfast also making the top ten.

However, there was bad news for our neighbours in Birmingham after the 'second city' was named as the seventh worst place to live and work.
