The poverty yardstick

Journos are always on a quest to find "real people" and case studies to illustrate complex stories, so I'm grateful to the generally excellent Cornwall Council website for directing my attention to the Redruth North ward, where (last year) 66% of children lived in households wholly dependent on benefits. The government's shake-up of the welfare system will clearly have a major impact on this part of Cornwall.
