Leeds is a problem for Wakefield, and Bradford, Dewsbury, etc. As is Manchester for Oldham and Stockport and Birmingham for Walsall, West Brom etc.
They get all the funding for infrastructure, facilities and transport, to the detriment of outlying areas, meaning that everyone has to travel into these "city regions" for just about everything from entertainment to shopping to work.
It's odd when we are supposedly trying to go net-zero and carbon neutral forcing people to travel miles for many of the basics, and that travel is usually by car... thus clogging up and polluting these bigger cities.
It's all arse over tit, but the "planners" just cannot see it.
