|
| Britons are famous for their liking for suburbia, but commuting long distances to work has become common in the small towns, villages and woodlands of the 'rururbia' that surround many major European conurbations. |
|
| However, the socio-economic problems have grown too, because coastal regions are far removed from the heartbeat of the conurbations and are neglected by politics. |

|
| If Scotland, with some 5m residents, controls education, welfare and tax rates, why should regions and conurbations with similar populations be run from London? |
|
| Any other response is synonymous with privation and excessive concentrations of people within a few conurbations, leading to the massive migratory movements that we have already seen. |
|

|
| You will also notice that the analysis in the Medium-Term Plan has stressed the phenomenon of urbanization which if it becomes more pronounced, threatens to make life impossible in certain conurbations. |

|
| Birmingham is a snowy city relative to other large UK conurbations, due to its inland location and comparatively high elevation. |
