1.1 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.

2 Newcastle North Locality Analysis mapping

Three kilometres to the north of Newcastle is the central point of several 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.

4 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.

GIS Locality Analysis: Newcastle North Page 26

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: • 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.
