As a member of Southampton Fairness Commission I read reports from other city FCs . York claims to be 6th out of 64 in.re. fairness. I could not find any data on this and am anxious to learn if any tables pertain?Not jealous of York just after knowledge. Thanks

Hi Joe, Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately this is not something we have explored. In last year’s Cities Outlook (https://www.centreforcities.org/publication/cities-outlook-2014/) we did provide a table for wellbeing as ONS had for the first time releases this data, though at this stage we are yet to go further into exploring these types of issues, instead concentrating on the more ‘traditional’ economic indicators like employment and skills.
