Inequality between local areas

Inequality between local areas is rising with a growing gap between affluent and less affluent communities.  At its extreme, this is underlined in the development of exclusive gated communities within areas of deprivation.  These inequalities are likely to intensify with the agenda of neighbourhood empowerment and local decision-making, as middle class and wealthy citizens increasingly identify with and shape local communities.  On a larger scale there is a growing divide between London and the South East of England, and the rest of the country in terms of levels of affluence.
