Assisted_areas_(United_Kingdom)

They date back to depressed special areas identified before WWII for specific assistance.[1] Over time the support systems have changed, as have the designated areas. While the UK was a member of the European Union, the coverage and schemes were regulated as part of the EU's regional policy.
