2 Purpose

The Newcastle Borough Council locality analysis examines the current and planned supply of specialist housing for older people and the provision and accessibility by foot and public transport of services and amenities within the main conurbations which would support independent living models for older people. The analysis also includes Census data of older population demography and deprivation as part of the evidence base of each area’s needs.

It has been prepared by Staffordshire County Council for use by a range of organisations that would benefit from this type of information to inform their own planning processes for specialist housing provision. The analysis is the second of eight such documents which will cover all Staffordshire districts.

It is intended that the locality analyses will complement a countywide evidence base of demand for and supply of specialist housing for older people that the Council is publishing on its website under Information for Providers which can be found here: https://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/health/Information-for-providers/Information-for- providers.aspx

Information contained within the locality analysis is up to date on the day it’s published but is a snapshot at a point in time and some will be subject to change, such as planning applications and bus times and routes. It should also be noted that it has only been possible to include relevant information that is held by the County Council, has been shared with us by partner agencies for this purpose or is available on public websites. Whilst it is planned to update the documents at regular intervals it is highly recommended that the reader double check that any key information is still valid.

3 How the Locality Analysis has been devised

3.1 Mapping and distances

The analysis focuses on five areas of Newcastle district which have been identified as being of potential interest due to their size and importance within the district, their geographical remoteness from the principal areas or their rural isolation, or because of considerations arising from preferred options for housing development in the Joint Local Plan. The areas included are as follows:

 Newcastle town central - a 2.5km radius from the postcode ST5 1PW which is the location of the Guild Hall in the Market Place. The analysis area includes built up urban areas including May Bank, Cross Heath, Basford, Knutton and the Westlands.  Newcastle North (which centres on the Bradwell area) – a 2km radius from the postcode ST5 8JG which lies near to the Bradwell Lane junction with the A34. The analysis area includes residential areas around Beasley, Bradwell, Chesterton and Porthill.

GIS Locality Analysis for Newcastle Borough Council Area Page 4

 Kidsgrove town – a 2km radius from post code ST7 1EA which covers the centre of Kidsgrove town and north Talke.  Silverdale village – a 1.5 km radius covering the village itself and care facilities in nearby Knutton  Loggerheads – a 1km radius of Loggerheads the post code TF9 4PB which is a central point of the village.

Newcastle Borough Council’s Western Urban Extension Area proposals include the Keele University area, with the former Keele Municipal Golf Course identified in the Stoke-on- Trent City Council and Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council Joint Local Plan Preferred Options Consultation Document as a preferred site for 1800 dwellings. However an analysis of the Keele area has not been included because LSOA E01029576 which covers the Keele area does not fall into the first or second highest quintiles for density of an older population or deprivation. Silverdale village, which is adjacent to this area, has been included.

The radius of the analysis for each area has been gauged individually, taking into account the size of the town and the location of its facilities, amenities and whether there are other conurbations of importance nearby.

Short distances between amenities and bus stops within the town centre have been measured in metres using the manual measuring tools in ArcGIS following the most obvious walking route and are therefore approximations only. Longer distances have been measured in kilometres as the crow flies, and should be considered as rough indications only.

When analysing access to facilities on foot assumptions have also been drawn based on guidance from the Department of Transport 20041 regarding walking speeds and also the Staffordshire County Council Local Transport Plan 2011.

It doesn’t indicate how long a person in later life can be expected to walk for, but if older people per se are taken into consideration, it suggest the following walking speeds (measured as m/sec):

Table 1: Walking speeds for independent older people (m/sec) Age Male Female 70-79 0.89 0.74 80+ 0.54 0.59 Average 83 year old with 0.47 balance problems

Data suggests that 25% of a population averaging 83 years of age cannot walk more than 500m without a degree of difficulty or at all 2. If the lowest speed of 0.54m/sec for older

Available from: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/+/http:/www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/research/rsrr/the me1/olderpedestriansacriticalrev.pdf GIS Locality Analysis for Newcastle Borough Council Area Page 5

independent individuals is considered and for those with extra support needs is 0.47m/sec the following has been calculated for the purpose of this report:

Taking a midpoint for a person aged 80+, equates to an average of between 0.54 and 0.59m/sec which is 160 – 180m distance in 5 minutes. An individual walking at 0.54m/sec can cover 160m in 5 minutes and an individual with balance problems, 140m in the same period. 160m has been assumed to be a sensible one way walking distances to services/amenities for the target individuals who are more likely to have a level of physical disability and/or physical frailty.

The Staffordshire Local Transport Plan sets 350m to a bus stop for the whole population as an acceptable accessibility standard for policy purposes. For this work, a more conservative approach to a reasonable walking distance between bus stops and amenities or services has been used that takes into account age, balance difficulties, that people may be conveying groceries and bags, and remembering that individuals who are using public transport will have an additional walk at the start and end of their journey. It is assumed that target individuals can cover a 2 way walking distance of 320m. However, it should be noted that for some individuals with a higher level of physical disability and/or physical frailty or balance problems this distance may exceed a reasonable walking distance.

Throughout this analysis, walking times have been calculated on the walking speed basis of 0.54 m/sec for an older independent individual so it may be assumed that it will take longer for a frail person with physical restrictions to walk these distances.

3.2 Public transport accessibility and journey times

The analysis examines accessibility by public transport to a range of health, retail and banking services. This has been conducted by using the most frequent bus services only to the bus stop nearest the amenities in question. There may be other bus services that are less frequent but have a more direct and quicker journey time, with more or less of a walk from the bus stop at the end of the journey to their chosen destination, or it may be quicker to use a combination of services.

3.4 Bus routes within Newcastle district

The main bus routes across Newcastle district are shown in the map below.

Kidsgrove

Bradwell

Silverdale Newcastle

Loggerheads

Source: Staffordshire County Council

Newcastle town is well served by bus routes and has good links to Stoke-on-Trent, where there is a main railway station, and to the retail areas in Hanley. According to bustimes.co.uk the 4a Kidsgrove to Hanley service runs every 30 minutes with a journey time of 36 minute to Newcastle and 1 hour 6 minutes to Hanley, and the 3a service from Kidsgrove to Hanley operates up to every 20 minutes with a travel time of 35 minutes.

Loggerheads is served by the 164 service from Newcastle to Market Drayton in Shropshire. Information in bustimes.co.uk shows that during the day this service runs hourly with a journey time of 10 minutes to Market Drayton and under 30 minutes to Newcastle.

Eligibility for a free bus pass

Older people and people with a disability may qualify for a County Council issued bus pass which gives free travel in the Staffordshire County Council area when they board a local bus service anywhere in the Staffordshire County Council area (please note that this excludes Stoke-on-Trent). Information on eligibility for a bus pass can be found at https://www.staffordshire.gov.uk/transport/publictransport/buses/buspass/OlderDisabled/ 247travel.aspx

3.6 Population demographics

Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) have been used for the purpose of identifying the population demographics. These are geographical areas designed to improve the reporting of small geographical area statistics for Census purposes, and generally consist of between 1000 – 3000 people or 400 – 1200 households.

For the purposes of statistical analysis the population is divided into five equal groups called quintiles. The Locality Analysis focuses on those LSOAs which, when ranked against all other LSOAs in the country, fall into the first quintile because it has the highest concentration of a population demographic or a deprivation index, for example people aged 75 plus or Health Deprivation and Disability.

Colour coding is used in the graphics to effectively display the various concentrations in quintiles of a particular demographic for the LSOA in question. In the maps LSOAs that fall into the first quintile are coloured red, and those in the second quintile which has the next highest concentration, are displayed as amber. See below for legend key:

Population data for the Lower Super Output Areas has been derived from 2016 mid-year population estimates from the Office of National Statistics. Indices of deprivation 2015 data is from Communities and Local Government and Single Person Households data comes from 2011 Census, Office for National Statistics. The Indices of Deprivation 2015 measure relative deprivation in the Lower Super Output Areas, and consist of seven domains of deprivation which are combined to form the Index of Multiple Deprivation.

4 Newcastle-under-Lyme Locality Analysis mapping

For the purposes of this analysis the post code ST5 1PW has been used as the central point of the area; this is the post code for the Guild Hall which is located in the Market Place, Newcastle under-Lyme.

A 2 km radius has been used which includes the majority of amenities and services within Newcastle central area.

Please note that in the maps a green line denotes the border with Stoke City Council local authority area which is not included within this analysis.

5.1 Newcastle Locality Analysis

Newcastle is the principal town of the Newcastle District. As it is a relatively compact town the initial evaluation of provision in the local vicinity has been undertaken within a 2 kilometre radius of the town centre to include the whole of the urban area of Newcastle town. For the purposes of this work the Guildhall on the Market Place has been used as the centre of town.

5.2 Access to Local Facilities and Services

Bus routes

Map 1: Main bus routes in Newcastle Town Centre.

Newcastle bus station

Bus routes are displayed as follows:

Newcastle’s bus station is located approximately 190m from the town centre on Stubbs Street to the south east of the town. Arriva Midlands, D&G Coach and Bus and First Potteries all operate services from the station. There is also a row of 4 bus stops on Merrial Street approximately 175m to the north of the town centre

Taxi services

There are numerous taxi services operating within the area according to yell.com, with many based in Newcastle or nearby Stoke on Trent.

GIS Locality Analysis for Newcastle Borough Council Area Page 17

Community Transport

Door2Door Transport is listed on Google as a service for residents of Newcastle and Stoke- on-Trent who experience mobility problems and are therefore unable to use public transport and are on a low income. This service will provide transport to health related appointments as well as shopping and visiting friends and is chargeable. According to yell.com there is also a community transport scheme in Newcastle called Newcastle Community Transport.

The District Council may hold more information on local community transport services that are available in and around the local community.

Supermarkets

It has been assumed that larger supermarkets will enable people to access all of their food shopping needs. A corner shop, express or convenience store will only partially meet people’s needs, will potentially be more expensive and be used more for top up shopping rather than full shops.

There are 10 large or medium sized supermarkets within a 2km radius of Newcastle town centre. Of these, 7 are within an acceptable one walking distance for an independent older person to a bus stop although Aldi, Morrison’s ST5 9AL, Sainsbury’s and Tesco only have an hourly service.

Post Offices

Using information from postoffice.co.uk and the manual GIS mapping tool it appears there are 4 post office branches within the 2km radius, and a further post office inside the radius but which is located in Stoke-on-Trent City Council area. One of these, the branch at 43 High Street, Newcastle is approximately 170m from the main bus station in the town centre.

5.5 Newcastle summary

Access to retail, banking, health and leisure services

Within 2km of Newcastle town centre are a wide range of GP surgeries, pharmacies, dental practices, and large supermarkets, plus many key services such as banks, hair dressers, cafes and bars which would meet the day to day needs of older people.

There is good access by public transport to a range of GPs, pharmacies, supermarkets, dentists and banks. Although there is generally a good spread of services there are some areas without key amenities, and residents would need to travel further afield to access them:

 Knutton: has no GP surgery, supermarket or pharmacy  Basford: has no GP surgery, supermarket, pharmacy or dental practice  May Bank: has no GP surgery, pharmacy or dental practice.

There are two main travel hubs in the town centre: the main bus station and four bus stops on Merrial Street. The town centre itself is spread across an area which is above a reasonable walking distance for an independent older person to manage but could be accessible via mobility scooter. The centre is largely pedestrianised but is surrounded by a dual carriageway ring road with subways at major access points which would allow for a mobility scooter to access the town centre.

Demographic information

The demographic data on GIS show that within LSOAs around Newcastle there are high concentrations of:  people aged 75+ (5 LSOAs in the first quintile);  Lone Pensioner Households (9 LSOAs in the first quintile);  Health Deprivation and Disability (8 LSOAs in the first quintile);  Older People Living in Poverty (8 LSOAs in the first quintile);  Income Deprivation Affecting Older People (3 LSOAs in the first quintile).  High concentrations of deprivation as indicated by the Index of Multiple Deprivation (3 LSOAs in the first quintile).

The high concentration of LSOAs in the first quintile for deprivation means that affordability of any proposed development would need to be carefully considered alongside the existing affordable/social housing offer already in the area.

6 Newcastle North Locality Analysis mapping

Three kilometres to the north of Newcastle is the central point of a number of small urban centres which form a continuous area of development running in a 1.5km wide strip from the suburban village of Wolstanton in the south east point to the residential estate of Crackley at the north west point and also including the suburbs of Bradwell and Porthill and the former mining village of Chesterton. Each of these conurbations has its own identity and range of services and amenities.

The busy A34 dual carriageway bisects this urban area and will be used as a central point for this analysis at the junction of Bradwell Lane, using the postcode ST5 8JG. To the west the major A500 route and the Stoke-on-Trent City Council boundary act as natural barriers.

The urban areas north of Newcastle stretch approximately 5km in a south east to north west direction and therefore a radius of 2.5km is being used so that the whole of this urban area is included within this analysis. The nature of the geography here means that some rural or semi-rural areas or light industrial sites also fall within the analysis area.

7 Newcastle North area population demographics The analysis area postcode ST5 8JG falls in LSOA E0129538. For the purpose of this report, demographics that are flagging as high concentrations of need within a particular LSOA are shown in the table below.

 There are four LSOAs where the index of multiple deprivation falls into the highest national quintile, centred mainly on the Chesterton and Crackley areas.  There are a further 5 LSOAs which fall into the second highest national quintile for this demographic, spread around the area but including Bradwell and the Lymedale Business Park area.

There appears to be similarities in the LSOAs that are demonstrating high density demographics for:

People aged 75 plus Single households aged 65+ Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Older People in Poverty

This information should be considered alongside other available evidence bases and data to establish a more complete understanding of the needs and supply gaps in the area.

7.5 Newcastle north summary

Access to retail, banking, health and leisure services

The area included within the analysis north of Newcastle-under-Lyme is largely residential with some areas of light industry. There are three main urban centres: Bradwell, Chesterton and Porthill, two of these are former mining communities and much of the housing stock comprises terraced or smaller semi-detached dwellings.

There is limited access to services, retail outlets and leisure opportunities within the area. There is only one bank and this is not accessible by public transport but there is good access in Chesterton and Bradwell to free to use cash machines. The area has good public transport links to Newcastle town centre where there is a wide range of shops and services.

Within several individual localities there is good access by public transport within acceptable walking distance of a bus stop for an older independent person as follows: GIS Locality Analysis for Newcastle Borough Council Area Page 57

 Chesterton and Bradwell retail areas;  Medium sized supermarkets in Chesterton and Porthill;  GP surgery and dental surgeries in Chesterton and Porthill;  Post office and pharmacies in all areas.

There is limited access to:  major supermarkets;  GP surgery and dental surgery in Bradwell;  Leisure opportunities.

Access to specialist housing and care facilities

There is good provision of residential care facilities, particularly in the Porthill area: there are 13 care homes, 11 of which are residential care homes, which offer 453 care beds. Of these, 185 residential care beds and 232 nursing care beds are registered for dementia.

In contrast there is limited access to specialist housing schemes for older people in terms of unit numbers, geographical spread and choice of tenure. 8 age exclusive, extra care or sheltered housing schemes provide 276 units, and all but one scheme are located around the Porthill area, near to Wolstanton. Only the extra care scheme offers leasehold, all other schemes are social rent and none offer shared ownership.

It would therefore appear that there is relative under provision of specialist housing for older people that is not within a registered care setting, particularly around Bradwell, Chesterton and Crackley.

Demographic information

The demographic data on GIS show:

 High concentrations of people aged 50 – 64 in the north of the analysis area around Crackley where three LSOAs fall into the second highest population density quintile.  LSOA E01029536 falls into the highest density population quintile for people aged 65 – 74 and into the second highest density population quintile for people aged 75 plus.  Two other LSOAs also fall into the highest density quintile for people aged 75 plus.

There are also high concentrations of:  Single Households aged 65+ (7 LSOAs fall in to the first or second highest density quintile)  Health Deprivation and Disability (10 LSOAs fall into the first or second highest density quintile)  Income Deprivation affecting older people (10 LSOAs fall into the first or second highest density quintile)

This means that affordability of any proposed development would need to be carefully considered alongside the existing affordable/social housing offer already in the area.

9.5 Kidsgrove summary

Access to retail, banking, health and leisure services

Within the 2 km analysis area from central Kidsgrove there are two main, relatively limited, retail and leisure centres around Market Street, Liverpool Road and Heathcote Street in central Kidsgrove; and the Cedar Avenue junction with Congleton Road in Butt Lane. Neither of these areas is pedestrianised and traffic flow could be an impediment to people using mobility scooters. Some parts of the roads and pavements appear to be narrow in the main retail areas in central Kidsgrove.

There is good accessibility by public transport to supermarkets, post office, pharmacies, dentists and opticians.

There is more limited public transport accessibility to GP surgeries: there is a bus stop within a reasonable one way walking distance of one surgery but this stop only has a two hourly service.

There is one bank in the town centre but there are several free to use ATMs.

Access to specialist housing and care facilities

Access to specialist housing is restricted by type and tenure options: there are no extra care schemes, there is a total of 5 sheltered housing and exclusive schemes, with a total of 135 units. Tenure is limited to social rent tenure only. The age exclusive schemes (46 units) only offer 1 bed-roomed accommodation, whilst it is not known whether any of the sheltered housing schemes have two bedrooms.

There are 4 care homes: 3 residential homes, providing 121 beds, of which 64 beds in one home have a dementia care registration, and one nursing home, where all 72 beds are registered for dementia and adults over 65.

Demographic information

The demographic data on GIS show that there are moderate concentrations of:

 People aged 65 – 74 (2 LSOAs in first quintile);  People aged 75+ (2 LSOAs in first quintile);  Lone Pensioner Household (2 LSOAs in first quintile);  Health Deprivation and Disability (3 LSOAs in first quintile);  Index of Multiple Deprivation (2 LSOAs in first quintile);  Older People in Poverty (2 LSOAs in first quintile).

The concentrations of LSOAs triggering first quintile for deprivation means that affordability of any proposed development would need to be carefully considered alongside the existing affordable /social housing offer already in the area.

11.6 Silverdale summary

Access to retail, banking, health and leisure services

The main services and facilities are concentrated around The Parade in the centre of Silverdale. The bus stops adjacent to The Parade have two frequent services running throughout the day between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. giving good accessibility to a medium sized supermarket, and a GP surgery as well as access to a much wider range of services and amenities in Newcastle. This means that people living in Silverdale who wish to choose other facilities such as a different GP surgery or a larger supermarket could use public transport to do so, though they may have to change bus service at the station in Newcastle.

The bus routes are along the High Street and a residential estate to the south of Scot Hay Road on the western edge of the village meaning that it is less easily accessible to people who are frail and do not live close to the routes.

The Parade area appears to be fairly level with wide pavements which makes it accessible by foot and mobility scooter, and it has a good sized car park for people with access to their own transport. There is a pelican crossing adjacent to The Parade to facilitate crossing the High Street to the bus stop opposite The Parade.

There is limited access by public transport to the post office, and two dental practices which are above reasonable walking distance of a bus stop. People who want to visit a bank, chiropodist or optician would need to travel into Newcastle or another town centre.

Access to specialist housing and care facilities

Within the 1.5km radius of Silverdale village centre there are no extra care schemes although there is one just outside the radius in Knutton. In total there are 91 units of sheltered or age exclusive housing with a mix of one and two bed flats and bungalows, with a further 19 units with access to care and support planned to be available in April 2020.

There are no options for shared ownership or leasehold as the 4 existing schemes are all for social rent only and the scheme under development will also be affordable/social rent.

There are no residential care homes within the analysis area however there are 17 homes within a wider radius of 6km. The only nursing home within the radius offers 27 beds, which are all registered for dementia and adults over 65.
