The chart below gives some of the most reported issues among people living in UK cities in 2008 (%). Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The graph compares the 3 major issues that residents in 7

cities

of the UK dealt with in 2008.

Overall

, people in all the

cities

were concerned most about health services and

education

and training

although

the former was more serious in some

cities

while

the residents were troubled by the latter in other

cities

.

Air

pollution remained the least significant problem in every city.

According to

the figures, health services and

education

and training are by far the biggest issues in the

cities

in the UK as there is an incredible gap between the two and

air

pollution.

For instance

, Belfast and Cardiff are the

cities

with the highest rates of concerns about health services with 59% and 57%respectively.

In other words

, they are slightly more serious troubles in New

Castle

, Birmingham and Manchester than

education

and training.

In addition

, there is no significant difference in the graphs for

education

and training, all exceeding 50% except for New

Castle

and Manchester with both approximately 45%. In spite of the severity of the two problems,

air

pollution is a minor trouble in all 7

cities

by different degrees.

For example

, all the figures stood just below 20% and contamination of

air

was the least urgent issue in New

Castle

with only 5%.

In contrast

, the place that it hit most seriously was Manchester which shared 15% and was almost three times as much as New

Castle

.
