Personal Insolvency Statistics

Cumbria comes near bottom in insolvency survey – no bad thing?

R3 (the insolvency practitioners’ trade body) released their new ‘personal insolvency map’ which shows the number of new personal insolvencies in each parliamentary constituency in 2009. The good news for Cumbria is that Cumbria came near the bottom of the list.

The top three personal insolvency ‘hotspots’ as reported by R3 are Torbay (a Lib Dem seat), Mansfield (Labour) and Weston-Super-Mare (Conservative). Newly-elected Labour leader Ed Miliband’s constituency of Doncaster North is in the top twenty constituencies with the highest numbers of insolvencies while PM David Cameron’s Witney is about half way down the list, and coalition partner Nick Clegg’s Sheffield Hallam seat holds the fourth lowest number of new personal insolvency cases.
