First Sight: Election Special: the South-East Economy

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

In the first of three special editions focusing on election issues, First Sight goes to Stevenage, Hertfordshire to take its economic temperature. On the upside, Britain's first new town has high-tech industries and an expanding house market, but on the downside, employees aged over 40 are marginalised and only the flexible survive. What do the major political parties have to offer the winners and the losers?
Mike Embley chairs a debate with party candidates from the South East.

A phone-in follows immediately after the programme on BBC Radios Kent, GLR,
Southern Counties and Thames Valley FM. To take part, call [number removed].
