Bristol’s economic prosperity 'at risk' over no-deal Brexit

Failure to secure a good Brexit deal with the EU risks putting Bristol’s economic prosperity at risk, a think tank is warning. A total of 55 per cent of Bristol’s exports are sold to the bloc and are worth around £3.6billion to the city’s economy, or £8,508 per worker. But local exporters are facing tariff barriers if the government fails to secure a good Brexit deal, says urban policy research unit Centre for Cities.
