HARTLEPOOL, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 04: Children play on the streets of the Headlands area of Hartlepool on September 4, 2017 in Hartlepool, England. Hartlepool in the North East of England is one of the many coastal towns lagging behind inland areas with some of the worst levels of economic and social deprivation in the country. The Social Market Foundation (SMF) found that 85% of Great Britain's 98 coastal local authorities had pay levels below the national average for 2016.
