Meeting of the Cabinet 19 Th September 2006 Meeting of the Cabinet 19 th September 2006 Report of the Assistant Director Community Regeneration and Strategic Development COMMUNITIES FIRST: INCLUSION OF ADDITIONAL AREAS Purpose of Report 1. To seek approval from Cabinet for a working group to be established to put together a proposal for 4 additional areas to be included in the Communities First Programme in Bridgend. This is in light of the publication of the 2005 Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) and as requested by the Welsh Assembly Government. Background 2. The Communities First Programme was launched in Wales in 2002 and the areas included were the top 100 Electoral Divisions in the 2000 WIMD. In addition, 32 sub-pockets of deprivation were included in the Communities First Programme and 10 communities of interest. 3. In the 2000 WIMD the areas of Bridgend that ranked in the 100 most deprived areas were the wards of: Betws; Blackmill; Llangeinor; and Caerau (the 2000 Electoral Division of Caerau, not including Nantyffyllon). These wards were therefore granted Communities First status and are existing Communities First areas. 4. The 2005 WIMD was published in October 2005. This was done at a more local geographical level of Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs), of which there are 1896 in Wales. As a measure of deprivation the top 10% (190) of these areas are classed as the most deprived in Wales. Appendix A shows the main observations from 2005 WIMD for Bridgend. 5. The 2005 WIMD has highlighted areas of deprivation that were not included in the original Communities First proposals and some existing Communities First areas do not appear in the 10% most deprived. 6. In light of the impact of the new index, the Welsh Assembly Government consulted with partnerships and stakeholders on the future of the Communities First Programme. Following the consultation, the Minister for Social Justice and Regeneration has announced that existing areas will remain Communities First areas and proposals have been invited to include additional areas in the programme if they fall within the top 10% of the most deprived LSOAs. 7. Appendix B shows the ranking of the Bridgend wards as they rank in Wales in the 2005 WIMD. All parts of the existing Communities First areas of: Bettws; Caerau 1,2, and 3; and Blackmill 1 and 2 are in the 10% most deprived areas of Wales. The existing Communities First area of 1 Llangeinor is ranked as 488 th most deprived area of Wales. The areas that are now in the top 10% are: a. Cornelly 4, part of the Marlas Estate in Cornelly – ranked as 100 th in Wales b. Morfa 2, part of the Wildmill Estate – ranked as 129 th in Wales c. Brackla 3, the area of predominantly social housing in Brackla – ranked as 145 th in Wales d. Sarn 1, the Bryncwils area of Sarn – ranked as 174 th in Wales Proposal 8. It is proposed that a Partnership Task and Finish group be set up to develop an application, on behalf of BCBC, for including the above and surrounding areas where appropriate, in the Communities First Programme. 9. It is proposed that the task and finish group should be co-ordinated by the Assistant Director for Community Regeneration and Strategic Development and should initially include the Local Authority, Valleys to Coast, BAVO, Bridgend Local Health Board and South Wales Police. The membership of the group may expand to include other key stakeholders. 10. Applications for additional areas must be submitted to the Welsh Assembly by 30 th March 2007 and therefore the groups should be established as soon as possible. Recommendation 11. That the Assistant Director Community Regeneration and Strategic Development be authorised to set up a task and finish group to develop an application, on behalf of BCBC, to include 4 additional areas of Bridgend in the Communities First Programme.

Letter from Edwina Hart AM, re: Communities First Programme: the impact of the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2005, dated 1 st August 2006. 2. WIMD 2006 2 Appendix A Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2005 Main Observations From C1st Bridgend • The 2005 index and the 2000 index cannot be compared because of the different indicators that have been used to compile the index and the different geographical levels at which they have been compiled. • While the LSOA’s have been ranked, please note that just because one could be ranked 5 th and another ranked 25 th this does not mean they are five times more or less deprived than each other. • The information is comparable with 2001 Census information. • The 2005 index has been compiled at Lower Level Super Output Area – these are areas of approximately 500 -1,500 population • Caerau 1 (Caerau Park and Tudor Estate) is the most deprived part of Bridgend County Borough, ranked 35 out of 1,896 in Wales. • Brackla 7 (area off St Michaels Way) is the least deprived part of Bridgend County Borough, ranked 1,802 out of 1,896 in Wales. • The areas of Bridgend in the top 10% of most deprived wards in Wales are as follows. These areas make up 12% of Bridgend’s Lower Super Output areas, the geography at which the index is set: o Caerau 1 (Caerau Park and Tudor Estate) o Betws o Caerau 2 (Blaencaerau and Caerau Road) o Cornelly 4 (Part of Marlas Estate) o Morfa 2 (Part of Wildmill) o Brackla 3 (Brackla Meadows, formerly known as Area M) o Caerau 3 (South East Caerau) o Blackmill 2 (Blackmill, Glyn Llan, Lewistown and Pantyrawel) o Sarn 1 (Bryncwils area) o Blackmill 1 (Glyn Ogwr and Evanstown) • Llangeinor, a Communities First area, ranks 27 th in Bridgend and 488 th in Wales. This means that it is in the 20%-30% of most deprived areas in Wales, where 0-10% are the most deprived. • Brackla 2 (North Brackla in front of Brackla Industrial Estate – not social housing) is emerging as an area of concern since it ranks as one of the least deprived areas in all domains except for health where it ranks as 97 th most deprived area in Wales. Surrounding areas rank 185 th and 1,356 th . 3 • Housing is not emerging as an issue in the new Index but the areas appearing high on the overall index correlate with areas of social housing. • It is felt that some of the areas scoring high on health may correlate with an elderly population (including residential homes for the elderly in an area). • The physical environment domain refers to air quality and emissions and proximity to waste disposal sites, floodplains and industrial sources. • The revision to the Employment domain including claimants of unemployment benefits has not made many great changes to the overall index. Although positioning has changed slightly the top ten most deprived wards in Bridgend have remained the same. Newcastle 3 saw the biggest drop in ranking by 64 places to 1,389 th while Sarn 2 saw an rise of 62 places to 790 th 4 5 Appendix B Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2005 Summary for Bridgend- Rank in Wales (out of 1896 areas) Rank in Bridgend - Area name overall Overall Index Income Employment Health Education Access to services Housing Physical Environment Caerau 1 1 35 89 49 121 6 970 628 1103 Bettws 2 62 60 93 50 142 671 1012 1378 Caerau 2 3 66 149 39 127 72 1029 359 1355 Cornelly 4 4 100 94 70 677 135 1324 363 229 Morfa 2 5 129 130 227 70 352 946 1076 165 Brackla 3 6 145 95 186 185 443 884 1581 404 Caerau 3 7 166 259 122 232 160 1183 838 1355 Blackmill 2 8 167 416 388 89 48 413 709 1540 Sarn 1 9 174 324 118 151 239 1161 477 1334 Blackmill 1 10 186 358 167 271 140 450 429 1810 Caerau 4 11 240 364 151 212 299 1028 1133 1139 Ynysawdre 1 12 272 318 238 94 953 1102 1046 289 Nant-y-moel 1 13 315 456 258 223 291 1050 1119 935 Maesteg East 2 14 327 493 264 207 410 540 1328 1004 Pyle 2 15 338 210 365 992 251 1667 546 169 Bryncoch 16 360 368 486 328 271 1162 157 1105 Cornelly 1 17 361 337 336 383 482 852 377 1080 Pyle 5 18 363 382 385 379 355 1667 568 123 Maesteg West 4 19 401 562 308 285 503 733 1178 482 Porthcawl East Central 1 20 408 353 292 331 778 1075 441 1524 Felindre 1 21 427 371 553 564 394 824 481 225 Maesteg West 3 22 429 352 382 820 419 314 1607 1166 Morfa 3 23 438 388 276 672 678 1153 1074 260 6 Maesteg East 1 24 442 618 370 141 612 1667 783 592 Newcastle 1 25 457 224 282 1202 776 1215 655 1157 Maesteg West 2 26 483 649 437 176 555 1667 850 555 Llangeinor 27 488 765 283 373 564 520 1502 1421 Cornelly 2 28 537 879 866 83 713 509 954 498 Morfa 1 29 541 597 686 228 669 1209 412 408 Nant-y-moel 2 30 560 839 578 203 430 1667 1302 248 Pyle 3 31 578 594 676 878 453 1127 869 25 Oldcastle 1 32 587 415 479 517 1103 1667 288 745 Pontycymmer 1 33 590 679 611 157 562 1667 831 1703 Ogmore Vale 2 34 598 643 357 948 524 1211 921 509 Porthcawl East Central 2 35 608 582 433 544 782 896 703 1506 Bryntirion, Laleston and Merthyr Mawr 3 36 627 528 516 635 852 1083 298 1578 Pontycymmer 2 37 649 964 462 219 605 1667 1111 1598 Porthcawl West Central 1 38 653 521 359 473 1301 1667 947 1736 Cefn Cribwr 39 660 653 524 713 733 468 1335 1451 Pyle 4 40 696 682 610 375 890 1107 1376 684 Hendre 2 41 727 656 656 1101 638 698 479 1180 Brackla 2 42 733 1033 1109 97 1230 1132 675 297 Ynysawdre 2 43 749 1038 951 268 838 555 1230 467 Llangynwyd 2 44 757 743 539 851 797 747 1113 1187 Llangewydd and Brynhyfryd 1 45 761 626 736 573 743 841 1572 1476 Sarn 2 46 790 1067 445 907 586 873 1351 1180 Cornelly 3 47 800 673 742 1270 593 1142 1068 295 7 Blaengarw 48 871 826

  • Health Social Care and Well Being an Assessment of Need for the Vale of Glamorgan (2008-11)
    HEALTH SOCIAL CARE AND WELL BEING AN ASSESSMENT OF NEED FOR THE VALE OF GLAMORGAN (2008-11) SUMMARY REPORT CONTENTS INTRODUCTION DEMOGRAPHY DEATH, DISEASE AND DISABILITY Mortality Morbidity HEALTH AND WELL-BEING Lifestyle Environment Health and social care provision HEALTH NEEDS OF SPECIFIC GROUPS People with chronic conditions Older people People with mental health problems Children and young people People with disability Carers HEALTH INEQUALITIES NEXT STEPS GLOSSARY APPENDIX 1: MAPS 2 INTRODUCTION The Vale of Glamorgan is generally perceived to be a good place to life, and has a significant number of the most affluent areas in Wales. A national survey recently declared it to be one of the best places in Britain to bring up a family, being the only Welsh district to make the top 20 out of 408 local authorities across Britain. Most indicators of health, social care, and well being show that the Vale does much better than the Welsh average. A Public Opinion survey (2005) found 87% of respondents were proud to live in the Vale, compared to 80% in 2003. 74% were satisfied with the overall services provided by the Council, compared to 68% in 2003. However, there are several localities, particularly in Barry, where deprivation is amongst the highest in Wales. Also people living in rural areas of the Vale can have difficulty accessing services. This is the second health needs assessment, part of an ongoing, inclusive process based on evidence and consensus that aims to provide a clear understanding of the state of health locally. It has been produced in accordance with the Health, Social Care and Well-being Strategies (Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2007, and will underpin the Health Social Care and Well-Being Strategy (2008-11) by: • Addressing the public health agenda at local level; • Supporting implementation of the Community Strategy and other local strategies and frameworks; • Informing priority setting and commissioning.

Introduction 1.1 This document is the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) Report of the of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan . The HIA has been undertaken with the involvement of relevant officers from local authorities to ensure that all health issues have been identified and that a full and comprehensive assessment is achieved. What is Health Impact Assessment? 1.2 Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a tool that can be used to assess the health impact of a physical development, a proposed change to service delivery or a policy or strategy. Some of the impacts may be positive, while others could be more harmful. The aim is to remove or mitigate any possible negative impacts on people’s health and well-being and to maximise opportunities to help people improve their health. 1.3 Health Impact Assessment has been defined as: “…a combination of procedures, methods and tools by which a policy, programme or project may be judged as to its potential effects on the health of a population, and the distribution of those effects within the population.” (WHO (1999) Health Impact Assessment: Main concepts and suggested approach).

  • Draft Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report
    BRIDGEND COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL Sustainability Appraisal of the Bridgend Local Development Plan Scoping Report December 2006 CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2 Proposed approach to the sustainability appraisal 3 Baseline sustainability characterisation of Bridgend 4 Other Plans and Strategies informing the Sustainability Appraisal 5 The sustainability objectives 6 Scoping and the involvement of the consultation bodies Scoping Report for the Sustainability Appraisal of the Bridgend LDP Baker Associates – December 2006 1 Introduction 1.1 This document is the ‘Scoping Report’ for the Sustainability Appraisal (SA), which incorporates the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), for the Bridgend Local Development Plan (LDP or the Plan). It has been prepared by consultants Baker Associates to assist Bridgend County Borough Council in meeting the requirements of SA and SEA. 1.2 The SEA Directive was incorporated into UK law in July 2004. The Directive applies to a range of plans and programmes, including Local Development Plans. The main aim of the SEA process is to contribute to the integration of environmental considerations into the preparation of the LDP to promote more sustainable development. This is achieved by highlighting the potential environmental impacts of the proposed plan as it emerges in order that these can be avoided, or mitigated against, as necessary. To some extent SEA extends the principles of Environmental Impact Assessment to the strategic level, taking into account the more strategic nature of the decisions being made. For the Bridgend LDP the SEA is incorporated into the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) process as a single process, referred to in this report simply as SA. 1.3 There are differences between the SEA and SA requirements, with the most significant that SA should deal with all aspects of sustainability (environment, natural resources, economy and social aspects), while SEA is concerned predominantly with the environment and has a statutory position in law.
