Pier group pressure
Article Abstract:
Wigan, England, has been successful in attracting investment and this has much to do with the Wigan Borough Partnership (WBP). The WBP includes the local Chamber of Commerce and local government representatives. There are a number of major developments including Martland Park, with both large and small business units, and the 90 acre Stonecross Park. The quality of the local work force is a key attraction.

Myths and mellow fruitfulness
Article Abstract:
Merseyside, England, has been portrayed as strike-prone, yet there is little industrial unrest, and the work force is more productive than the average for the United Kingdom. The political character of Merseyside has aso changed though there are still perceptions of dominance by the Militant group. The city has a motivated work force and skills from the construction industry boom of the 1960s. Crime levels are also not as high as they are sometimes portrayed.
