This was followed by households in Burnley and Glasgow who have lost the equivalent of £28,090 and £23,500, respectively, on average over the last decade and a half.

Those who live in Cambridge and Milton Keynes who would have been £21,000 richer on average if incomes had gone up by the rate of pre-2010 levels.

Only seven cities in the UK saw disposable income growth outperform trends before the economic crash of 2007-09.

According to the Centre for Cities in Cities Outlook report, this shortfall is primarily due to lack of productivity growth within the UK economy despite the country experiencing a jobs boom since 2010.

The average figures for cities are all cumulative figures relative for prices in 2022. Here is a breakdown of the UK cities which posted the biggest losses in disposable income per head if city economies grew at 1998-2010 rates:

• Aberdeen – loss of £45,240
• Burnley – loss of £28,090
• Glasgow – loss of £23,500
• Milton Keynes – loss of £21,610
• Cambridge – loss of £21,340
• Dundee – loss of £17,730
• Birkenhead – loss of £17,540
• Ipswich – loss of £17,390
• Exeter – loss of £16,990
• Plymouth – loss of £16,340.

Andrew Carter, the chief executive of Centre for Cities, highlighted that both the Conservatives and Labour have promised to grow the economy at the next General Election.

He said: “The challenge for the next Government is to go beyond the rhetoric and to do what’s needed to make this rhetoric a reality.

The UK has had a torrid time since the Great Recession. Everywhere, up and down the country, including places that were doing relatively well before, has been levelled down because of the lack of growth.

“To get growth in every place, the next Government needs to act at a radically different pace and scale, and mark the beginning of a multi-decade policy programme.”
