⭐ Yorkshire Deserves Better: A Global Powerhouse Waiting to Be Properly Promoted ⭐ Yorkshire, the largest historic county in the UK, is a region with the power and potential of a small country. From the stunning Yorkshire Dales and rugged Moors to the cultural vibrancy of cities like Leeds, Bradford, York, Hull and Sheffield, it’s a place where natural beauty, history, and modernity converge. Yet, this powerhouse remains under-promoted, both locally and internationally. Yorkshire’s economic influence is undeniable. As a hub for finance, digital innovation, and manufacturing, it plays a crucial role in the UK economy. But Yorkshire is so much more than its industries—it’s also a place of cultural richness and diversity. Walk through Bradford and Leeds, and you’ll find a blend of cultures and communities that shape the modern Yorkshire identity. It’s a place where diverse voices tell the story of a region deeply connected to the world. But are we really celebrating that diversity? Or talking about the fact that some of the UK’s biggest contemporary icons hail from here? Jeremy Clarkson, Zayn Malik, Sir Patrick Stewart, and Jessica Ennis-Hill are just a few who proudly call Yorkshire home. These figures represent different walks of life and contribute to the county’s modern image. Yorkshire has a voice that’s both historic and contemporary, yet it’s not really being celebrated. The collapse of Welcome to Yorkshire should have been a wake-up call. How can a region with UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Michelin-starred restaurants, and cultural icons from the Brontë sisters to Dame Judi Dench not lead in destination marketing? Yorkshire has everything—a vibrant arts scene, world-class sporting events, and deep-rooted history—and it should be marketed as the global destination it is. Yorkshire’s diverse communities and its famous sons and daughters are the heart of its story. Maybe it’s time for a new approach that does justice to its past while embracing its modern, multicultural identity? Maybe it's time to take real pride in Yorkshire’s history, diversity, and dynamism, and finally give it the international platform and awareness it deserves ? #Yorkshire #DestinationMarketing #CulturalDiversity #NorthernPowerhouse #Tourism #EconomicGrowth #YorkshireStrong

Born in, lived in, worked in Derby. My entire life. So I’m feeling qualified to put some commentary to this. And it might be different to other Derbians. I wasn’t incensed that Derby was last in the list. Derby MADE it onto the list of 25 cities (there’s 76 cities in the UK). That’s proof that the tourism work being done is have a good effect, it’s bringing people to Derby. If I was someone who yielded enough power to make changes in this city of ours I would be using this feedback to make the right strategic changes for the city. Because yes there are things being done here but they are mostly glory projects that people get behind and frankly there’s been a woeful lack of care of our heritage until recent years. Don’t get me started on the Hippodrome (or someone hand the keys over to me!). There are issues in Derby and I’ve been to many events where they are glossed over. So if we stop wallpapering the cracks and listen to this feedback then act on it we’re going to climb this particular Which list. Because Derby IS a nice little city. It has heritage galore. It does sit in stunning countryside literally a stones throw from the city centre. It’s just lost its way over the last few decades resulting in this feedback. I would say to the local politicians and city leaders take notice of this feedback and make the RIGHT decisions to make our city more visitor friendly. Then we might make it into the top 10. Carry on as we are with expensive parking, huge new builds of apartment blocks, leaving buildings falling apart, cancelling loved events, closing parking down, focussing only on the big businesses and a load of other stuff then we’ll fall off that list which will have a detrimental effect on the city and its people. And that is more important than being on any list in whatever position. Here ends the Seleena rant.

Newcastle is the second biggest city in New South Wales, and we're growing. We now have an opportunity, together, to build a consensus around how we want our city to grow. As much as possible, we all need to be on board. Novocastrians know that Broadmeadow has been an epicentre for promises and plans for decades. That's why City of Newcastle, Australia has been working closely with the NSW Government to plan and prepare a shared vision, to reinvigorate Broadmeadow and secure our city's future. The Broadmeadow Place Strategy presents a vision to revitalise a 313-hectare precinct, with up to 20,000 new homes for 40,000 people, and 15,000 jobs, while retaining Broadmeadow as the region’s premier sport and entertainment destination. Newcastle needs to be somewhere people can afford to live, thrive, work and get the support they need. It is worthy of investment, events and spaces. The people of Newcastle deserve this, and our future generations deserve it too. We know that Newcastle is an attractive place to live, work and play - and we're going to continue to see property prices increase if our housing supply continues to fall short of demand. We simply cannot allow housing to get further beyond the means of our residents or our children. Your engagement, direction and feedback is vital in this process. It's so important that we get this right - this is a once in a generation opportunity. The Place Strategy is now on exhibition, but time is almost up - our public submissions cut off is 5.00 pm on Wednesday, 24 July 2024. Please take the time to read the Broadmeadow Place Strategy and have your say. Our future depends on it.
