Gray, Deputy Director of Public Health Neighbourhoods are complicated places and no two are the same, in looks, feel or atmosphere. It is difficult to catch the true character of an area in numbers, but there are some indicators that can at least start to paint a picture. Now in its seventh year, the Social Atlas collates and monitors a wide range of these social and economic indicators to provide a broad brush picture for each estate and settlement in the borough. This annual snap-shot of the situation in terms of education, income, community safety and health and disability can start to help us understand better the rich tapestry of different communities that exist in Milton Keynes. The information in this Social Atlas will be of interest and use to every agency and organisation that works with communities in Milton Keynes, as well as to the communities themselves. I trust you will find the 2008 Social Atlas of Milton Keynes a useful resource and tool.

In the Social Atlas these are divided into indicators around income; children & education; older people; community factors and health & disability. • Income On average 197 out of 1,000 population in Milton Keynes get housing or council tax benefit, a means tested benefit. The highest rate is 561 out of 1,000 in Beanhill. • Children & Education There are seven indicators in this category covering a diverse range of topics affecting children. They include family referrals to Children’s Social Care where the data could not be updated from last year. Numbers of children getting free school meals is a traditional indicator of disadvantage that shows a large variation across estates. The average is 11% of pupils with the highest, 40%, in Granby. As educational attainment has a strong association with future disadvantage, the remaining 3 indicators focus on this. To try to estimate the proportion of young people not going into higher education we look at the proportion of 18-24 year olds not getting student awards. The average across Milton Keynes is 86% but the highest can be found in Netherfield where 98% of young people are not in receipt of student awards. The remaining indicators look at educational attainment in schools. Firstly, the proportion attaining below level 4 in Key Stage 2 English. Milton Keynes average is 235 per 1,000 pupils, with great variation across estates. The English average is 200 per 1,000. Performance has improved since introduction of the tests. In 1997, nationally 37% of pupils were failing to reach level 4, and 41% of pupils in Milton Keynes. The second of these indicators assesses the proportion of pupils gaining less than 5 GCSEs at grade A*-C, for the first time including Mathematics and English. The Milton Keynes average is 610 per 1,000 pupils, the highest is 1,000 in 5 estates. The English average is 532 per 1,000 pupils. • Older People On average 78 out of 1,000 pensioners are clients of Older People’s Services. • Community Factors Community factors include those affecting how people feel about their home environment. There are several different factors in this category including domestic fires; categories of recorded crime; tenure; neighbour complaints and a measure of community involvement. Domestic fires have been found to correlate strongly with disadvantage. Looking over a rolling 5-year period, on average there were 10 fires per 1,000 dwellings in Milton Keynes from 2002 to 2007. The highest was 70 per 1,000 dwellings in Granby. Crime data has been included for violent crime, burglaries and criminal damage. The highest rates of both violent crime and criminal damage occur in Central Milton Keynes because of the high visitor population. Considering neighbour complaints to Environmental Health: on average there were 18 complaints per 1,000 dwellings, the highest rate was in Peartree Bridge with 57 complaints per 1,000. • Health & Disability There are 6 health and disability indicators listed in the grid profiles, although only 4 of these are used in the calculation of the overall rankings. Teenage conceptions: on average there were 52 conceptions per 1,000 girls aged 15 to 19. The numbers are small so a 2-year average time period is considered. Disabled concessionary fares and clients of disabled services are included as pointers towards areas where the population has a greater need for support. Some of the variations in these factors are explained by the dominant style of dwelling in the estate, for example more bungalows. The final 3 indicators focus on hospital activity. The emergency admission rate was 96 per 1,000 population per year. Granby has the highest rate of 244 per 1,000. Non- emergency hospital admissions were included for information; this indicator was not included in the overall rankings. Visits to accident and emergency were also included in the estate profiles for the first time this year. 3 Social Atlas for Milton Keynes 2007/2008 Introduction The purpose of this series of documents is to enable people working towards Social Inclusion to identify: • the most significant social inclusion issues • geographic concentrations of need • the relative severity of social exclusion compared with other areas and the national picture • a snapshot position • geographic areas and issues where development of services and initiatives might be focused • measure change and to prompt discussion on possible causes of inequality and suggestions for actions to achieve im- provement. The data used are primarily locally collected data, intended to highlight areas with a high need for public services. Earlier work included developing a framework to structure information gathering, along the lines of those used by the government in “Opportunity for All” and by bodies such as the Joseph Rowntree Trust. The framework has the following categories: • income • children • young adults • adults aged 25 to retirement • older people • community factors • health and disability The indicators included this year are directly comparable, with the only difference being the inability to get family referals data due to a change in computer systems. This should be resolved by next year. The ideals restricting choices for indicators are that: • they should be capable of being collected at ward and/or below ward level • they should be commonly available across all local authorities • they should allow for national comparisons • they should have an acknowledged relationship with disadvantage. Useful developments since the first document have been: 1. The setting up of the Office for National Statistics website for the Neighbourhood Statistics Service. Extensive amounts of data, from the 2001 census and other administrative data sources, are available at local level at no cost. The site can be found at http://www.statistics.gov.uk/neighbourhood-statistics.asp 2. The development and updating of the Index of Multiple Deprivation, a multi-dimensional indicator available to lower-super output area level, published in 2000, 2004 and 2007.

Milton Keynes Council established in its Core Strategy a target of delivering 28,000 homes in the period from 2010 to 2026; an average of 1,750 homes per year. This target is split 26,240 in the urban area and 1,760 across the rural rest of the Borough. 1.2 There is a need to ensure that there is choice and flexibility in land supply across the Borough. This will help maintain completion rates and enable the Council to demonstrate it has a five year supply of land, which is a strict government requirement. Problems with this can arise because, despite there being enough land available, it is not being built out quickly enough to meet the Core Strategy’s annual housing targets.

In assessing potential site options, the NPPF states that ‘allocations of land for development should prefer land of less environmental value’ (Paragraph 17). The Local Plan should bring forward allocations which are consistent with these various requirements.

Haversham-cum-Little Linford Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group and Haversham-cum-Little-Linford Parish Council have been working for a considerable time to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish. We have been assisted in this by Oneill Homer, a leading consultancy who have assisted Parish and Town Councils around the country to produce well over 100 Neighbourhood Plans, including several in Milton Keynes. The cost of this consultancy work has been paid for by a government grant. What is a Neighbourhood Plan? A document that sets out planning policies for the neighbourhood area – planning policies are used to decide whether to approve planning applications. Written by the local community, the people who know and love the area, rather than the Local Planning Authority. A powerful tool to ensure the community gets the right types of development, in the right place. What is this document for? We had hoped to hold a public meeting / exhibition to discuss the significant work undertaken so far and find out YOUR views of our policy intents and the potential development sites offered by landowners.

We are writing in a personal capacity as the parish council was not able to discuss the boundaries. We are concerned that the proposals agreed by Milton Keynes Council will undermine the long term viability and cohesion of the Bletchley area and the two parish councils that serve the area. We note that Bletchley & F enny Town Council has taken a v iew that it wants to see its boundaries respected in any war ding proposal. We share that view and believe that both Bletchley parish council areas should be retained with no par ish wards divided off. We are aware that what the B&F town council seek cannot be secured within paris h boundaries. Both its objective and our approach can be secured within the two parish boundaries. Aims We would like to see ward boundaries that: . Respect the existing collective boundaries of the two parish councils . Keep communities together whilst achieving electoral parity. Retain long standing community relationships . Address the linking of areas that are a long way apart. 1 Our objections to the Council proposals. Milton Key nes Counc il agreed it s submission on the 9 October. Their pro posals from Milton Keynes Council remove a ke y area within West Bletchley, the Scot s estate.
