Research Reveals Which UK Towns Have the Largest Gender Pay Gaps

HR software firm Ciphr analysed ONS data and identified the UK towns with the widest gender pay gaps for full‑time workers. Eighty‑eight percent of large towns show a gap, and more than half exceed 7 %. Bracknell tops the list with a 26.5 % gap – a £14,065 annual shortfall for women – followed by Farnborough and Portsmouth. Even high‑earning cities like London and Cambridge retain gaps, underscoring that pay disparity is a pervasive local issue.
