Conservative chancellor Rishi Sunak says soaring inflation should begin to fall "next year" as he issues a message of reassurance to the people of Nottinghamshire. Nottingham is one of the most deprived areas in England and the cost of living crisis is arguably hitting the its residents harder than many other core cities in the country.
For example 56 neighbourhoods within Nottingham were ranked in the top 10% of deprived areas nationally, according to Government data, while Nottingham north, which includes areas such as Bilbrough, Bulwell and Top Valley, was ranked in the top ten most deprived regions in the entire country.
In Hyson Green it is understood almost half of all children live in poverty. Those with disabilities in Nottingham also fear it will become a "matter of survival" as costs rise beyond what people are able to afford.
