Research and Consultation, Assistant Chief Executive’s Office. 2 1. Foreword This profile pulls together a range of indicators to provide a profile of the East Durham Rural Area Action Partnership (AAP) and of the people who live there.

The East Durham Rural AAP was formed to tackle the various issues affecting the people living in the area and to work to improve their quality of life. Now in its fourth year the AAP has set the following priorities for 2012/13:

1. Activities for children and young people 2. Community spirit and aspirations/support for voluntary and community services 3. Employment and job prospects.

The information within this profile is intended to provide the background against which these priorities are set and can be used to inform the process for setting the priorities for 2013/14.

2. Data Construction Method The figures quoted in this profile were the latest available in June 2012. Figures for the AAP have been constructed from lower geographical areas through a process of aggregation using census wards (unless otherwise stated). In some cases lower super output area (LSOA) figures, rounded to the nearest five, are used. The various indicators have then been grouped into the council’s five ‘Altogether’ priority themes.

Variances in totals are due to rounding errors and differences in aggregations of sub categories within the dataset, for example age groups. Differences in household/dwelling counts are due to using different databases both locally and nationally.

To enhance links between the profile and the County Durham Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) for the county, the sub communities used in the 2011 profile have been replaced with the middle super output area (MSOA) census geography. This has allowed for the inclusion of a number of indicators used in the JSNA. Where MSOAs cross AAP boundaries these MSOAs are included in each AAP area they cover. Therefore the sum of the MSOAs will not match the AAP figures quoted.

3. Altogether Better Durham – Priority Themes The County Durham Partnership has developed a vision to reflect the views and aspirations of the community and opportunities for improvement. This is focused around an ‘Altogether Better Durham’. This vision is comprised of two components, being to have an ‘Altogether Better Place’ which is ‘Altogether Better for People’.

This vision helps to provide a framework which guides all of our detailed plans and programmes which will turn our vision into a reality and comprises five priority themes:

Altogether Wealthier: Focusing on creating a vibrant economy and putting regeneration and economic development at the heart of all our plans. Altogether Better for Children and Young People: Enabling children and young people to develop and achieve their aspirations and to maximise their potential in line with Every Child Matters. Altogether Healthier: Improving health and wellbeing. Altogether Safer: Creating a safer and more cohesive county. Altogether Greener: Ensuring an attractive and 'liveable' local environment, and contributing to tackling global environment challenges.

Research and Consultation, Assistant Chief Executive’s Office. 3 4. Background

Situated to the south east of the county the East Durham Rural AAP stretches from Bradbury and Sedgefield in the south, to Bowburn and Quarrington Hill in the north. The AAP is bordered by Darlington Borough to the south west, Stockton-upon-Tees Borough to the south east, and by the other AAPs of:

Durham East Durham 4 Together Partnership Great Aycliffe & Middridge Spennymoor.

The East Durham Rural AAP is predominantly ‘rural’ in nature with a population of over 25,6001. Covering an area of over 13,700 hectares (53.2 sq. miles), the AAP has a population density of 1.9 (people/hectare), which is lower than that of the county (2.3).

The East Durham Rural area is a diverse part of Durham, with traditional mining settlements such as Fishburn and the Trimdons, and the historic village of Sedgefield. Sedgefield Village is noted for the Parish Church of St Edmund, a grade one listed building dating from the 13th Century. The town also has Hardwick Park Estate and its National Hunt Racecourse. It has been the focus of a major housing development on the former Winterton hospital site, which also hosts NETPark, one of the fastest growing science, engineering and technology parks in the UK.

5. Local community data for the East Durham Rural AAP

Local data is presented for the following MSOAs2 which cover the East Durham Rural AAP:

MSOA Code MSOA Name E02004339 Bishop Middleham and Sedgefield E02004318 Bowburn and Shincliffe E02004319 Cassop and Coxhoe E02004334 Fishburn and Trimdons E02004331 Thornley, Deaf Hill and Wheatley Hill

A full description of these boundaries can be found on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) website.

1 Office for National Statistics (ONS) mid 2010 Estimates 2 Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs) are one layer of a set of national boundaries designed for the 2001 Census. They were developed to provide a range of areas of a consistent size whose boundaries would not change over time. These MSOAs would have a minimum population of 5000 people and would be constrained within local authority boundaries current at the time of the Census.

Youth Work programmes are delivered in partnership with voluntary sector organisations working in local communities throughout County Durham and are managed by the Youth Work Strategic Team. A young person will be classed as a youth work participant if they have attended a youth work programme for 12 hours or more.
