As the UK prepares to leave the European Union, few places saw higher support for Brexit than England’s so-called forgotten towns – places characterised by economic decline, social breakdown and concern about immigration.

In the last general election many of those towns abandoned Labour and cast a vote for the party which promised to get Brexit done.

One such place was Redcar on Teeside in the north east of England. The constituency was created in 1974 but had never returned a Conservative MP until last month.

So what do people there hope for from Brexit and a Tory government? The Nine’s Chief News Correspondent James Cook has visited the town.
