Council leader: 'Plenty to be happy about' in Stoke

The leader of Stoke-on-Trent City Council says there is 'plenty to be happy about' in the city, despite residents reporting the lowest levels of life satisfaction and self-worth out of the whole of Britain.

Stoke-on-Trent is widely known as having some of the friendliest people in the country, is one of the best places to start a business and with multi-million pound developments to the city centre, miles of green open space and innovative changes to the city’s schools there is certainly plenty to be happy about.
