Should cities be allowed to offer private companies economic incentives to relocate?

Spend money on improving infrastructure to atract companies and punish them for moving jobs overseas.

Spend money to attract demstic and foreign investitors and punnish them from moving country overseas.

Punish them for moving jobs out of the country, don't subsidise the businesses unless the company will create new jobs for local and national industry, and the tax revenue will exceed the incentives in a short amount of time.

the government should increase incentives to relocate companies to deprived areas to help increase investment in the area

Yes, as long as the local environment is not compromised, 35% of new jobs should go to local residents and the incentives will be re-evaluated after 3 years.

Yes, as long as the incentives are coming out of the cities already existing budget.

No, the large corporations that are able to take advantage of these schemes end up redistributing wealth out of the local community.

No, but punish them for moving jobs out of the country and give them economic incentives to keep jobs in our country

Yes. But needed in east midlands too and cities with high unemployment.

Yes, but this must be closely regulated so as to ensure wealthier areas don't further absorb business at the expense of smaller, poorer areas.

Yes but the environment, the tax revenue and effect on local economy should be considered

i dont have much of an opinion on this matter but unnecessary moves should not be encouraged

Yes, as long as the local environment is not compromised and the tax revenue will exceed the tax incentives within 3 years

No opinion either way

No, spend the money on teachers and NHS workers wages.

Yes but not in the form of tax rebates/bribes

No, but I would prefer if the companies were nationalised

improve global regulations

Yes but only if there is a benefit to the local economy and then the entire economy as a whole and it should be a fair and open process and people should not lose money to implement these.

Stop environmental damage no matter what keep companies where they can be regulated

I don’t know enough.

No, and decrease tax on small businesses

Yes only to a certain extent with competitive rules with regulatory style body to enforce them else richer towns will become richer and poorer ones will become poorer.

Yes, but only if local citizens can vote on this and only if new jobs will be created in the area.

If it won't compromise the environment, hires from the local area and the local people can vote on what incentives are offered.

No spend that money on improving Infrastructure and the community to attract companies but punish them for moving jobs out the country if necessary

Yes, but limits need to be set so that companies do not take advantage off the state.

Yes but only if those private companies then become nationalised

Yes, if the company promises to create new jobs by hiring local residents and improve infrastructure and the community to attract companies

I will need to do more research on this topic to give a stance

confused g

This would have to be discussed and voted both nationally and in regional districts.

As long as the local population are offered jobs, the local environment is not compromised and the economic net positive benefits said area (ie. enriching economic, social, cultural, educational, etc life)—be wary as to corporate monopolies alongside moderate to thorough governance and genuinely liveable wages.

Yes provided there is evidence that the assistance will deliver net additional employment or output and doesn’t just displace from one place to another

Yes, but don't subsidise big businesses

Abolish the government and companies

Yes, but local residents should vote on the offer and local businesses and environment should be supported

No, lower corporate taxes for all companies.

yes but only if it is certain they will help the community they are relocating to

Increasing the number of jobs outside of London is important for long term stability

Only if they can’t take advantage economically

Yes, only if they can not economically take advantage

Don't be daft

Nationalise them if they cam provide lots of jobs if they are not willing to relocate

In principle yes,, but these deals should come under close scrutiny as it would be open to abuse and corrupt practises. Local government should encourage economic growth preferably by investing in smaller already locally based companies.

Yes, as long as the local environment is not compromised and they promise to create new jobs by hiring local residence

No, they should be offering training programs to the unemployed and keeping jobs in the UK

Yes as long as existing jobs are protected and new ones are created
