A special EU Referendum debate hosted by Daniel Hewitt Credit: ITV Granada
Two weeks from today the result of the EU Referendum will be announced at Manchester Town Hall – if you’re still undecided watch our Granada Reports special debate hosted by our Political Correspondent Daniel Hewitt.
EU Referendum: Where does our money go?
How much does it cost to stay in the European Union, and is it worth it?
The UK sends £350 million a week to Europe – but one city that’s been transformed by the £190 million of what comes back is Liverpool.
According to those who think we should stay in the EU Liverpool has received around £2 billion pounds of EU cash for everything from hospitals to the city’s Tate Museum.
But those who want us to leave the EU say it’s British taxpayers money, and it would be best spent by British politicians.
Our political correspondent Daniel Hewitt goes back on the road one more time.
EU Referendum: What would Brexit mean for business?
What’s the link between asparagus, Manchester Airport and London Routemaster Buses?
The simple answer is they all play an important role in the economy of the North West.
But here’s another question….will our region’s economy be better off if we stay in or leave the EU?
To find some answers, our Political Correspondent Daniel Hewitt’s climbed back into his classic Vauxhall Chevette to go back in time to 1975 – the last time we had a vote on Europe.
EU Referendum: What has EU immigration done for the North West?
Granada Reports is running a special series assessing the impact EU membership has had on different parts of the North West. The latest instalment looks at immigration.
When Britain last held a referendum on Europe in 1975, migration from Europe was minimal.
Now EU migrants make up half of all arrivals here. Our Political Correspondent Daniel Hewitt has been touring the region in a classic 1970’s car. This time he visits two towns with different stories to tell.
All this week Granada Reports is going back to 1975 – the last time Britain held a referendum on our membership of the European Union.
Our Political Correspondent Daniel Hewitt is touring the North West in a classic car from the period – the Vauxhall Chevette, which rolled off the production line in Ellesmere Port in 1975.
But what’s it like to drive in 2016?

EU Referendum: Back to the Future – Europhiles v Eurosceptics
It was the year Status Quo achieved their only UK number 1, Manchester United won promotion back to Division 1, and the Vauxhall Chevette rolled off the production line at Ellesmere Port.
1975 was also the year Britain last held a referendum on our membership of the European Union, and over the next four nights we’re going back to the future to what 41 years of EU membership has done for the region.
Tonight, our Political Correspondent is taking the Chevette from Blackpool to Manchester – the most eurosceptic and euro-friendly places in the North West.
