Wealth inequality between the north and south of England is set to grow, with the gap reaching £228,800 per head by 2030, according to a thinktank report.

The Institute for Public Policy Research North’s annual State of the North report states that although the average wealth of people in England has grown from about £226,300 in 2010 to £290,800 by 2020, inequalities between regions have almost doubled in the same period.
