New site allows you to see what’s happening to the economy in your local area. 

The site, Your Local Economy, allows people around the UK to get a snapshot view of what’s happening near them from jobs to big building projects.

The easy-to-use website offers specific economic information by clicking a region on the interactive map.

Your Local Economy gathers information from various government departments, meaning the public can now visit one site offering various economic data specific to their area.

The site offers many statistics which include employment figures broken down by region, and the number of first time buyers who have entered the property market.

A one stop shop for an overview of the economy around the UK, the site also details how many new businesses have been created since 2010 along with regional information on start up loans and infrastructure projects.
