A year on from the riots, new research by More in Common in partnership with the UCL Policy Lab and Citizens UK as part of our This Place Matters project on social cohesion, exposes stark divides in social cohesion across the UK.
Half of Britons (51 per cent) report feeling disconnected from society around them. Areas like Sheffield and Blackpool, which saw riots last Summer, have some of the lowest reported levels of social connection. Yet this varies dramatically across the country, with some constituencies reporting strong links, while in others, neighbours almost unanimously feel disconnected from each other.
