It underpins Cornwall Council’s Leisure Resources Strategy and its options document. The Council recognises the need to identify its role in the future of leisure provision within the County. This evidence base is, therefore, set in a context of declining public sector financial resources, ageing Council leisure facilities, and changes in demand by the community, along with the opportunities and competition posed by other providers in the market place. A new strategy is needed to help identify where opportunities exist in the County, and how Council leisure resources will be deployed to develop a long term approach to meeting future needs. A comprehensive picture of indoor sport and recreation provision will assist in Cornwall Council’s ‘leisure’ decisions. How the evidence base is structured? The purpose of this evidence base is to present key information related to leisure provision in Cornwall. It collates information that helps to inform improvement and investment that (directly or indirectly) benefits leisure in Cornwall. To this end, it has three sections plus appendices, as follows: Section Description Outline of the scope of the study. Details of the brief 1. Introduction and methodology used and background information. Brief background, profiling demographic, health, 2. Context sport and recreational activity and policy (etc.) characteristics of the area. 3. Leisure’s Identification of the current situation in Cornwall potential and potential leisure contribution(s) to specific impact in published sector aspirations. Cornwall Including summaries of national and local policy and Appendices NGB aspirations. How has it been prepared? Over 40 meetings with service managers identified key issues and helped to determine the impact(s) of leisure services provided by Cornwall Council. Surveys of National Governing Bodies (of sport), Cornwall Marine Network members, Community Network Manages, sports clubs and Cornwall Council elected Members also helped verify information garnered from other sources. Leisure Resources Strategy Background information (v1) 3 October 2014 Profile of Cornwall Demographics Cornwall Council came into existence on 1 April 2009 as a result of the amalgamation of the previous six district/borough councils in Cornwall and Cornwall County Council. It is located in the South West peninsular of England and shares a single boundary with Devon. It encompasses a diverse environment that attracts people and businesses alike. It is an area of many contrasts and varied landscapes with remote rural, coastal and environmentally sensitive areas, interspersed with villages and historic market towns. Many areas are affluent contrasting with some areas being among the most disadvantaged areas in the UK. The area is characterised by a dispersed settlement pattern. There are nine towns with a population of over 10,000 (five over 20,000) while a further seventeen small towns have around 5,000 residents, plus numerous villages and hamlets. As a peninsula, Cornwall does not and cannot rely on neighbouring areas to supplement many infrastructure requirements such as health, employment and education. While this geography creates challenges for economic growth and convenience it also provides opportunities. It has helped create some of Cornwall’s distinctiveness and cultural identity. The following factors also influence current and future supply and demand for sport and recreation facilities in the County. Population The total population in Cornwall, derived from census 2011 data, was 532,273 people. In 2011 there were more females (274,468) than males (257,805), and more 60-64 year olds than any other age range. Consequently, consideration should be given to how services might be orientated (at this stage) to cater for the short and medium term needs and demands of older people. Projections show that, if current trends continue, the population in Cornwall will require an estimated 47,500 additional houses between 2010 and 2030 and the population will become older. According to ‘Local Plan Proposed Submission’, 25,411 ‘completions’ have occurred since 2010 and 22,089 dwellings are required. This equates to a projected increase of 31,200 adults (i.e., a 5.9% increase) by 2017. Not only is the population in Cornwall projected to grow, it is expected to become older. Economic activity The 2011 Census identified that the total number of economically inactive people in Cornwall in 2011 was 129,374 (i.e., a third of the working age population). In 2011, 3.3% of the economically active working age population in Cornwall were unemployed. Cornwall also has a higher Leisure Resources Strategy Background information (v1) 4 October 2014 proportion of households with no adults in employment and dependent children (3.1%) than the South West average (3.0%). Cornwall Council analysis identifies that “the most common occupation is ‘Skilled Trades and Occupations’”, which includes skilled agricultural, electronic, construction, textile and printing trades. In fact, Cornwall is reported to have the 10th highest percentage of males employed in skilled trades and occupations and the 9th highest percentage of females working 16 to 30 hours of the 348 local authorities in England and Wales. Gross annual incomes are also relatively low, with the largest proportion being below £20,000, and the cost of living and inequalities are increasing. Cornwall’s levels of economic growth are good, but it is still perceived to be under performing despite significant investment. Deprivation In 2010, Cornwall’s overall deprivation score (as indicated by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation) was 22.51, which ranked it 110 out of 353 areas in England. However, there is concern that the relative affluence of some areas masks the poverty of others. Health A range of indicators suggest that a significant proportion of the County’s population has health problems. For example, in 2012/13 69.8% of adults in Cornwall were overweight or obese, and in 2011/12 there were 16.6% obese children in the County. Both of which were significantly higher than the national average, which were 63.8% and 19.2% respectively. Over three quarters of the population in Cornwall (419,564) in 2011 identified their health as ‘good’. This reflects an increase of 12.6% in the population who identified their health as ‘good’ between 2001 and 2011. Conversely, there were 33,528 people in Cornwall who identified their health as ‘bad’ in 2011 equating to 6.3% of the population (2011 census). The percentage of the population in Cornwall who identified their health as limiting their day to day activities a little or a lot rose to 21.4% (113,715 people), which was an increase of 13,114 people (1.1%) between 2001 and 2011. In addition, 63,192 (11.9%) people in 2011 undertook unpaid care every week in Cornwall compared to 55,580 (11.3%) in 2001. According to Public Health England (‘Health Impact of Physical Inactivity’), in 2010, 434 deaths could have been prevented by increasing levels of physical activity among 40-79 year olds. In addition, physical inactivity in Cornwall is estimated to have cost £11,947,128 in 2009/10. Life expectancy for both men and women is higher than the England average. However, life expectancy is 5.9 years lower for men and 5.2 years lower for women in the most deprived areas of Cornwall compared to the most affluent areas. Leisure Resources Strategy Background information (v1) 5 October 2014 The cost of health inequalities in Cornwall is rising, costing the local economy £610 million a year (Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2013 – 2015). Policy context The policy context relevant to sport and recreation facility provision in Cornwall is summarised as follows: Policy area Summary and implications National NPPF provides guidance to Local Authorities about planning and Planning Policy providing for sport and recreation facilities, in particular the need Framework to undertake robust quantitative and qualitative assessments. (NPPF) This assessment is consistent with the guidance and could help to secure developer contributions to part finance new and/or improved sport and recreation facilities. National policy Government policy provides a general framework for significantly increasing levels of participation/physical activity and support for elite sport. Sports facilities in Cornwall should underpin these objectives via the creation of a network suitable for sports development and, where appropriate, elite sport. The benefits of increasing participation in sport and active recreation are both explicit and implicit in much government policy. A network of appealing, accessible sport and recreation facilities

Issue 25 Coalition government announces sporting intentions I wrote last time about my optimism for the football World Cup and the Go to… potential of a British winner at Wimbledon. In the intervening time the coalition government has announced its austerity budget, including a number of cuts Coalition Government policies which will directly impact on sport and physical activity. On the face of it, Sports Awards optimism should be the farthest from our minds just now.

  • Cornwall Countryside Access Strategy 2007
    www.cornwall.gov.uk Cornwall Countryside Access Strategy 2007 Incorporating Cornwall’s Rights of Way Improvement Plan 1 3.0 Overview of Countryside Access in Cornwall 2 CORNWALL COUNTRYSIDE ACCESS STRATEGY 2007 Foreword Cornwall has an outstanding coastline and countryside of nationally and internationally renowned importance. Access to Cornwall’s countryside is recognised as an essential part of the lives of the people who live here. It provides a cultural connection and an enormous sense of well-being, together with benefits to health and is a largely free recreational resource. It is also recognised as one of Cornwall’s important tourism assets, which attracts visitors to the county, providing economic benefits through jobs and investment. A Strategy is nothing without an action plan that outlines how we will deliver against our policies and priorities. This Strategy sets out actions for Cornwall County Council and its Partners that will manage and enhance access opportunities for all to Cornwall’s countryside over the coming years. It will be reviewed at regular intervals and used to help shape the future delivery of improved services. It will also serve as a way to measure progress made. Although the Strategy has been produced by Cornwall County Council, many individuals, groups, organisations and members of Cornwall’s distinctive communities have influenced its content. It will only be with the help of those contributors that such a Strategy to improve access to Cornwall’s countryside can be delivered for the benefit of all. Adam Paynter

  • St Austell Town Plan 2012
    St Austell Town Plan 2012 Produced by St Austell Town Council with the help and guidance of residents and visitors to the town 2 Welcome to the St Austell Town Plan I am very pleased to be able to introduce the St Austell Town Plan. I was born in St Austell and have lived here most of my life. I am very proud to be Mayor, and regard it as a great privilege to represent the people of St Austell along with my fellow members of the Town Council. St Austell is the largest town in Cornwall and this Plan represents a major step forward for its future development. The Plan is based on consultation with the community, not only when the Council was established, but more recently in June when many members of the public commented on an initial draft. I am grateful to all those who have contributed to its preparation. In this Plan we set out the changes and improvements which are needed and desirable in the town over the next four or five years. We suggest how these might take place and who should be involved in making them happen. St Austell, like many towns and cities, faces a number of challenges in these uncertain economic times but the town has always had the capacity to move forward, building on the achievements of the past. Today the people of St Austell still retain the potential and the strength to turn our vision for the town into reality. The Plan can only work, however, if the members of our community, elected and unelected, take an active role in making it happen.
