The World Tonight

Available for over a year

David Eades has been building up a picture of economic life in Nottingham - and living standards; it's a two-tales-in-one city. At St Ann鈥檚 advice centre 鈥 Debbie Webster said they have never been busier. 鈥淲e have more billionaires in this country than ever before鈥hile we have people here queuing up for food, sitting at home with no gas, no electric鈥 it鈥檚 a disgrace鈥 she said. There are many sides to Nottingham and not all bad. On the edge of Nottingham South is Baxter Freight. Ian Baxter set up the company a year ago and now has a turnover of 拢6.5 million. Ian said "we're looking for stability... and a government that gets behind small and medium-sized business. That's how we're going to pay for the NHS and education."
