2 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 Introduction and Sources The profile is one of six ward area profiles prepared to support the work of the East Lothian Partnership and compliment the East Lothian Profile. It has been compiled in consideration of the priorities identified in the East Lothian Single Outcome Agreement to assist local partnerships and service providers to better understand the needs of their local areas. In preparing this profile every attempt has been made to use the most recent information publically available for each theme and therefore the information here has come from a variety of sources including :‐ - National Register of Scotland (NRS)– population estimates and projections http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/ - East Lothian Residents Survey 2017 commissioned by East Lothian Council cover a range of issues including quality of life, community cohesion, social attitudes, community safety and satisfaction with services. - Scotland’s Census Results 2011 ‐ www.scrol.gov.uk *At the time of publication the results of the 2011 census were not yet available. - Scottish Neighbourhood Statistics – www.sns.gov.uk part of the Scottish Governments on‐ going programme to improve the availability, consistency and accessibility of small area statistics in Scotland - Community Health and Well‐being Profiles – produced by the Scottish Public Health Observatory (ScotPHO) and comprising 61 indicators of health and wider determinants of health www.scotpho.org.uk/profiles - Scottish Schools Online ‐ www.ltscotland.org.uk/scottishschoolsonline/ - Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) – provides an analysis of the SIMD 2016 http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/SIMD - East Lothian Council ‐ Information provided by relevant Departments - CACI Paycheck 2012 ‐ http://www.caci.co.uk/paycheck.aspx. - NOMIS ‐ a service provided by the Office for National Statistics, ONS, to give free access to the most detailed and up‐to‐date UK labour market statistics from official sources www.nomisweb.co.uk - Student Evaluation of Experience Survey – a yearly survey of all P6 and S2 pupils at Local Authority schools, East Lothian Council (combined P6 and S2 results) - Lothian and Borders Police – Measuring our Performance www.lbp.police.uk/freedom‐of‐ information/pl_performance.asp - Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service ‐ Local Fire and Rescue Plan for East Lothian 2016 www.lbfire.org..uk - Local Incomes and Poverty in Scotland – 2013 report from the Income Modeling Project carried out by Heriot Watt University http://www.improvementservice.org.uk/ - Hands‐Up Survey – Sustran’s annual Scotland wide survey of how pupils travel to school

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 3 The Dunbar Area The Dunbar and East Linton Ward ‐ Ward 7 within the East Lothian Council multi‐member ward system – is situated at the eastern end of East Lothian. It is geographically one of the largest wards in East Lothian, stretching from East Linton in the west to Dunglass in the east, and includes:  Dunbar  East Linton  West Barns  Innerwick  Spott  Stenton  Oldhamstocks  Tyninghame and a number of other small settlements

Figure 1 ‐ Ward Map (East Lothian Council)

PLEASE NOTE ‐ Throughout this profile a number of different sources have been used to gather statistical information, which each use different boundaries and area definitions. In this report:  Dunbar & East Linton is used to refer to the East Lothian Local Authority ward area.  East Lothian East refers to the combined Dunbar and East Linton, North Berwick Coastal and Haddington Lammermuir wards, and is divided into East and Rural East  Intermediate zones (sometimes referred to as Intermediate Geographies) are also used to present variations within the ward. In this case the ward is divided into the Dunbar East zone and the Dunbar West zone and a Rural and East Linton zone surrounding the town  Data zones are the smallest geographic areas at which data is collected and analysed. There are 17 data zones in the Dunbar and East Linton ward.

4 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 Population The 2016 mid‐year population estimates state that 14,041 people live in the Dunbar and East Linton ward, 13.5% of the total population of East Lothian.

HEADLINES – Population  13.5% of the population of East Lothian live in the Dunbar & East Linton ward  67.1% of the population of the ward live in Dunbar/West Barns  4% of the population in the Dunbar & East Linton ward use a language other than English at home  81.8% of people in Dunbar and East Linton identified themselves as White Scottish – lower than the rate for East Lothian or Scotland as a whole

Ethnicity and Diversity The results from the 2011 Census in Scotland show that East Lothian is becoming more ethnically and religiously diverse, with an increasing number of people who live in East Lothian being born outside of the UK. According to the 2011 census figures:‐ In East Lothian 84% of the population were born in Scotland (compared to 83% of residents across the country as a whole). In East Lothian the proportion of the population born outside the UK rose from 3% to 5.3% between 2001 and 2011. Much of this rise can be attributed to new arrivals from the EU accession states including Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Latvia and others.

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 7 Deprivation in the Ward

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) The SIMD is a tool used by the Scottish Government to identify concentrations of deprivation across Scotland in a consistent manner. It does this by dividing the country into 6,976 data zones (average 767 people per data zone). These data zones are then ranked against key measures of deprivation – income, education, crime, health, employment, geographic access and housing – as well as by overall deprivation. It is important to note that the SIMD only identifies concentrations of deprivation. Therefore not all people who are deprived live in a data zone highlighted by the SIMD, and not all people living within an identified data zone are deprived.

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD)16 is calculated based upon the 2011 data zone boundaries. These data zones are based on the 2011 Census and were introduced in November 2014. 2011 Data Zone boundaries differ from the 2001 Data Zones which were used for previous SIMD editions. Therefore, direct comparisons of indicators between 2016 and previous years are not possible. SIMD 12 (the previous SIMD) was based on a total of 6,505 data zones compared to SIMD 16 which is based on 6,976 data zones. SIMD 16 is based on 132 data zones in East Lothian compared to 120 in SIMD 12. SIMD 2016 identifies 6 data zones in East Lothian that are ranked within the 20% most deprived in Scotland

HEADLINES – Deprivation in the ward  None of the data zones in the Dunbar & East Linton ward are in the 20% most deprived in East Lothian or Scotland  3 data zones are within the 20% least deprived in East Lothian and Scotland, 2 of which are within the 10% least deprived in Scotland

The map over the page (Figure 7) shows all of the data zones in the Dunbar and East Linton ward and illustrates their ranking out of the 132 data zones in East Lothian. It can be used to identify geographic clusters of relative deprivation in the ward.

 None of the data zones in the Dunbar & East Linton ward are in the 20% most deprived in East Lothian or Scotland  3 data zones are within the 20% least deprived in East Lothian and Scotland, 2 of which are within the 10% least deprived in Scotland

10 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 Income and Employment Although East Lothian is generally considered to be an area of high employment and general affluence there is considerable variation in economic activity, unemployment and the financial position of households between and within East Lothian’s wards. This section concentrates on income and employment figures across the ward in relation to East Lothian averages as well people’s perceptions of their own financial position.

HEADLINES – Income and Employment  Approximately 6.9% of the population of the working age population of the Dunbar and East Linton Ward is considered to be employment deprived, compared to East Lothian (8.5%) and Scotland (10.8%)  The proportion of the population considered to be employment deprived in the ward ranges from 3% to 15%  Approximately 7.4% of the population in the Dunbar and East Linton ward are considered to be income deprived, compared to the overall East Lothian rate of 9.8%  The proportion of the population that are considered to be income deprived in the ward ranges from 2% to 14%  3.2% of the Dunbar & East Linton ward claimed universal credit in December 2016 which is below the East Lothian average of 4.7%

Employment Patterns in the Dunbar and East Linton Ward 60.2% of people in the Dunbar & East Linton ward are aged between 16‐64 (compared to 62.2% across East Lothian)  This means there are 8,448 people of working age living in the area  8.7% are aged 16‐24 years (compared to 10.3% across East Lothian)  42% are aged 50 years and over (compared to 41% across East Lothian) (National Records of Scotland, 2016 mid‐year estimates) The 2011 Census showed that the breakdown of employment across different industry sectors in the Dunbar and East Linton ward was generally comparable with the rest of East Lothian, although there were a couple of notable exceptions.

 In this ward a significantly higher percentage of people worked within Agricultural, Hunting, Forestry and Fishing than across East Lothian as a whole – 5% compared to 2% ‐ reflecting the largely rural nature of the area  Across the Dunbar and East Linton ward a higher percentage of people worked within Electricity, Gas and Water Supply – 4% compared to 2% across East Lothian – explained in part by Torness Power Station’s location just outside Dunbar

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 15 Universal Credit Universal Credit supports people who are on a low income or out of work. Its aim is to ensure that people are better off in work than on benefits. Universal Credit gives support to people to prepare for work, move into work, or earn more. It is the recipient’s responsibility to do everything they can to find work or increase their earnings.

Universal Credit replaces:

 Income‐based Jobseeker’s Allowance  Income‐related Employment and Support Allowance  Income Support  Working Tax Credit  Child Tax Credit  Housing Benefit

3.2% of the Dunbar & East Linton ward claimed universal credit in December 2016 which is below the East Lothian average of 4.7%

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 19 Education and Training Overall school attainment is good across East Lothian and the working age population are more highly qualified than the Scottish average. There are however issues relating to school leavers attaining and sustaining positive post‐school destinations. A key focus for East Lothian is early intervention, ensuring that all young people enter schooling equipped to learn and receive the support they need to reach their potential.

HEADLINES – Education and Training  31% have undertaken a degree or professional qualification (compared to 27% across East Lothian)  No data zones in the Dunbar & East Linton ward are within the 20% most deprived in East Lothian and Scotland in terms of the Education domain  4 data zones in the Dunbar & East Linton ward are ranked within the 20% least educationally deprived in East Lothian, 3 of which are in the 10% least deprived  3 data zones in the Dunbar & East Linton ward are ranked within the 20% least educationally deprived in East Lothian, 2 of which are in the 10% least deprived  In the Dunbar & East Linton ward the Maths and Reading PIPS scores decreased when compared to the previous year  Secondary school attendance rates for pupils living in the Dunbar & East Linton ward were higher than the East Lothian rates  Across the ward exam results for pupils at the end of S4, S5 and S6 have been generally higher than both the East Lothian and Scottish average over the past 3 years.  66.7% of school leavers from Dunbar Grammar School went straight into higher or further education, compared to 61.2% across East Lothian

Comparisons with data from the 2001 Census show that there has been a clear rise in qualifications attained at all levels across the ward – and the percentage of people with no formal qualifications has fallen by 8%.

Education, Skills and Training Domain The SIMD Education Domain includes indicators that measure both outcomes of education deprivation, such as lack of qualifications in children and adults, and causes of education deprivation such as absenteeism and lack of progression to further and higher education. The Education Domain gives an education deprivation rank using the following indicators:  School pupil attendance  School pupil performance  Working age people with no qualifications  17‐21 year olds enrolling into full time higher education  School leavers aged 16‐19 not in education, employment or training

 No data zones in the Dunbar & East Linton ward are within the 20% most deprived in East Lothian and Scotland in terms of the Education domain  4 data zones in the Dunbar & East Linton ward are ranked within the 20% least educationally deprived in East Lothian, 3 of which are in the 10% least deprived  3 data zones in the Dunbar & East Linton ward are ranked within the 20% least educationally deprived in East Lothian, 2 of which are in the 10% least deprived

1 The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is an internationally standardised tool developed in Canada. In 2012 East Lothian was the first local authority in Scotland to pilot the tool in partnership with the Scottish Collaboration for Public Health Research and Policy 22 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 In Primary 1 a standard assessment, the Performance in Primary School (PIPS) On‐Entry Baseline, is used to measure the abilities of new pupils in reading, writing and arithmetic. This assessment is carried out in the first month that the child is in Primary 1 and scores are standardised on a nationally representative sample to allow comparisons between children and classes and with the national average across Scotland. PIPS scores across East Lothian are, for the most part, consistently higher over time than the national average of 50. In most cases pupils in the Dunbar and East Linton ward score consistently above the East Lothian average, however:  In the Dunbar & East Linton ward Maths and Reading both decreased in 2016/17 when compared to the previous year Figure 23 ‐ PIPS P1 baseline assessment (East Lothian Council, Education Div.)

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 27 Health and Social Care Across East Lothian, male and female life expectancies are significantly higher than the Scottish average, and have been rising steadily over time, leading to a growing older population in the area. There is however variation in life expectancy of almost 8 years between communities across the county – a clear indicator of the significant health inequalities that persist across East Lothian. This section focuses on a range of indicators which can be used to measure the health of a community, including illness and early deaths, child and maternal health, access to health services and the supports needed to enable people to maintain independent lives.

HEADLINES – Health and Social Care  89% of residents in the ward described their own health as ‘good’ or ‘fairly good’ in the 2017 East Lothian Residents Survey  No data zones in the ward are in the 20% most deprived in terms of the health domain  Early deaths from cancer in Dunbar & East Linton’s intermediate zones are below the East Lothian and Scottish rates  Dunbar West was the highest in the ward for smoking during pregnancy , with the percentage being above the East Lothian and Scottish rates  The 2016 mid‐year population estimate shows that there are 2,803 people aged 65 years and over living in the Dunbar & East Linton ward, which is 20% of the ward population. 1,192 of them or 8.5% of the total ward population are aged 75 or over.

This was lower than the East Lothian figure of 15% Of those with a long term health problem or disability, the most prevalent conditions in the ward were Mobility/physical disabilities (42%) compared to East Lothian (49%), Heart disease (31%) compared to East Lothian (18%) and High blood pressure (31%) compared to East Lothian (15%). Mental health at 25% was the highest in the East Lothian, which had an overall average of 12%.

Illness, Mortality and Hospital Admissions The 2010 Health and Wellbeing Profile showed that the Dunbar and East Linton Ward has a higher rate of emergency hospital admissions (1,044 / 10,000) than East Lothian (814 / 10,000) or Scotland (1,024 / 10,000). Across the 14 data zones in the Dunbar and East Linton ward the rate of emergency hospital admissions ranges from 430 / 10,000 to 1,201 / 10,000. As shown in the table below however, other rates of hospital admissions (reported as an age standardised rate per 10,000 people) are generally lower in the Dunbar area than across East Lothian with a few exceptions:  Alcohol related hospital admissions exceed East Lothian averages in the Dunbar East and Dunbar West zones although remain significantly below Scottish averages  Admissions for Coronary Heart Disease and Asthma in Dunbar West also exceed average rates in East Lothian  There were slightly higher numbers of unintentional injuries in the home to children under 15 in the East Linton zone (31 per 10,000 children per year), compared to 21 per 10,000 in Dunbar East and West zones. The Scottish average is 38 per 10,000

30 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 SIMD Health Domain The health domain identifies areas with a higher than expected level of ill health or mortality given the age‐sex profile of the population. The Health Domain gives a Health deprivation rank using the following indicators:  Standardised Mortality Ratio  Hospital Episodes Related to alcohol use  Hospital Episodes Related to drug use  Comparative Illness Factor  Emergency admissions to hospital  Proportion of population being prescribed drugs for anxiety, depression or psychosis  Proportion of live singleton births of low birth weight

 No data zones in the ward are in the 20% most deprived in East Lothian or Scotland in terms of the health domain  3 data zones in the ward are in the 10% least deprived in East Lothian and Scotland in terms of the health domain Dunbar and East Linton Data zones – ordered by Health Domain ranking Figure 32 ‐ SIMD Health Domain (www.sns.gov.uk/Simd/)

36 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 Neighbourhood and Place The rural nature of much of East Lothian means that the majority of the population live in geographically distinct towns and villages – each with their own strengths and differing needs. While each of the East Lothian wards is geographically clustered around one of six major towns it does mean that people across the county do have different levels of access to local services and facilities. These variations not only impact on local quality of life and the opportunities available to local residents but also on the strength and resilience of local communities, as how people feel about their own neighbourhoods can also influence how much they choose to become involved.

HEADLINES – Neighbourhood and Place  The East Lothian Residents Survey showed that 99% of people in the Dunbar & East Linton ward thought that East Lothian was a good place to live, with 98% feeling the same way about their own neighbourhood  98% of people in the Dunbar and East Linton ward rated their neighbourhood as a very good/good place to live  8% of residents in the ward reported that their neighbourhood had changed over the last 3 years, 87% felt it had stayed the same, although 3% thought it had got worse  Weekly town footfall decreased by 10.3% to a 5‐year low of 4,090 in 2015/16  In 2015/16 there was an overall increase in library visits of 10.3% when compared to the previous year, Wi‐Fi sessions increased by 57.9%, and PC visits decreased by 6.4%  Less people in the Dunbar & East Linton ward felt that they could influence decisions in their local area, and more felt that would like to be involved in decision making when compared to East Lothian as a whole

Of these 333 (15%) are in the Dunbar and East Linton ward:  242 in Dunbar Town  53 in East Linton  8 in Innerwick  19 in Stenton  9 in West Barns  2 in Whittingehame

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 47 Housing Supply House Prices and Affordability Nationally the housing market has been in overall decline since the peak of 2007; however the market in East Lothian would appear to have shown greater recovery with house prices in East Lothian among the most expensive across Scotland. Figure 58 ‐ ESPC House Sales 2012 (East Lothian Council 2013)  There were 745 homes 2012 House sales in Lower the Dunbar and East Number Median Quartile bought/sold in East Lothian Linton ward of sales price price* in 2012; 1 Bed properties 6 £88,975 £67,800  87 of these (or 12%) were in 2 Bed properties 24 £119,000 £104,375 the Dunbar and East Linton 3 Bed properties 26 £182,000 £153,750 ward; 4 Bed properties 23 £237,000 £210,000  In 2012 the median sale price 5 Bed+ properties 8 £652,500 £298,713 in the Dunbar and East Linton * the lower quartile is used to measure property prices within the ward (ie the price the middle bottom 25% of all sales, this is used as an indication of entry level value house sold across the property prices. ward) was £185,000 ‐ almost £20,000 higher than the median East Lothian price of £167,000. One method of calculating how affordable the owner occupied sector is for residents is to measure house prices against income levels. In 2012 the median income across East Lothian was £28,542 and the lower quartile income £14,230 (CACI Paycheck 2012).  This means that a household with a median income would be required to borrow 5.42 times their salary in order to by a three bedroom median priced property in the Dunbar and East Linton ward (assuming they had a 15% deposit £27,000) ‐ compared to needing 5.36 times their salary if looking at the median price for 3 bedroom homes across East Lothian as a whole.  For entry level buyers on a lower quartile income the difference was more substantial. To buy a 3 bedroom house at the lower quartile price in the Dunbar and East Linton ward, assuming they had a 15% deposit) a household would have to borrow 9.18 times their annual salary, compared to 8.87 times for a similar property across East Lothian as a whole.

Housing Quality Social Sector Social housing stock across East Lothian is generally considered to be of good quality. By March 2012 62% of Council stock and over 95% of Registered Social Landlord (RSL) homes met the Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS). In 2015/16, 92% of East Lothian Council dwellings met the SHQS.

Private Sector A private sector stock condition survey was carried out in 2010/11 to provide information on the condition of private housing. Overall the private housing stock was found to be generally better than or in line with the Scottish average across all key condition indicators, however poor property conditions were found in some areas, particularly within town centres and rural areas.

48 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 Across East Lothian 54.7% of private sector housing failed the Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS), with 71.1% of private rental properties failing compared to 52.7% of owner occupied homes.  The proportion of properties that failed is higher in Dunbar town centre (76%) and in the rural east (62.3%) Across East Lothian 9.3% of dwellings required extensive repairs and 2.1% of dwellings fell below the tolerable standard.4  Within Dunbar town centre 14.5% of properties require extensive repairs and 1% failed to meet the tolerable standard  Across rural areas of East Lothian East (which includes villages such as East Linton, Innerwick, Spott and Stenton) 19.7% of properties require extensive repair and 8.2% fail the tolerable standard Disrepair was shown to be more prevalent in the private rented sector and 17.4% of private rented properties failed the Repairing Standard.5  Private rented properties in the rural east of the county were shown to be most likely to fail the Repairing Standard as, despite only 20% of the private rented stock being in this area, 44% of the properties failing to meet the standard were in the rural areas of East Lothian East (East Lothian Council 2011) Fuel Poverty A household is considered to be in fuel poverty if it spends more than 10% of income on household fuel costs. Alongside low incomes a major contributor to levels of fuel poverty is the quality and energy efficiency of the residence. Research commissioned by East Lothian Council in 2010/11 into private sector housing (which accounts for approximately 2/3 of all dwellings in East Lothian) showed that:  11.9% of private households were living in fuel poverty  1.8% were found to be living in extreme fuel poverty Across East Lothian there are significantly higher levels of fuel poverty evident in the private rental sector, pre‐1919 housing (which tend to be less energy efficient), the rural east of the county and in town centres. Information for the Dunbar and East Linton ward confirms these East Lothian wide trends:  in Dunbar Town Centre 25.2% of private households are assessed as living in fuel poverty and 4.2% as living in extreme fuel poverty  in the rural areas in the east of the county (including the rural sections of the Dunbar and East Linton ward) 23.8% of private households were assessed as living in fuel poverty and 4.7% as being in extreme fuel poverty

4 The tolerable standard is the minimum standard for a property to be considered habitable. It applies to all tenures. 5 The Repairing Standard is a mandatory standard which applies to most private rented housing. Private landlords must ensure the property meets the Repairing Standard at the time of let and throughout the tenancy.

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 49  The National Home Energy Rating (NHER)6 for private housing in East Lothian is 7.0, compared to a Scottish average of 6.7. In Dunbar town centre this falls to 6, (placing it within the moderate range of the national scale)

Homelessness Since 2007 homeless applications in East Lothian have averaged at between 2.6% ‐ 2.9% of all households across the county – tracking approximately 0.3% above the national average. Since 2011/12 homelessness applications in East Lothian have reduced significantly as a result of the introduction of a Housing Options approach however homelessness remains a significant issue, particularly for younger people. This is another indicator of issues relating to a lack of affordable housing options. East Lothian Council Homelessness figures show that:  In 2011 the homelessness presentation rate from the Dunbar and East Linton ward was 17 per 1,000 people, compared to a rate of 23 per 1,000 people across East Lothian.  In the Dunbar and East Linton ward 8% of respondents reported in the East Lothian Residents’ Survey (2011) that homelessness was a ‘very serious’ or ‘quite serious’ problem in their area (compared to 3% across the county).

6 NHER is an indicator of energy efficiency based on the total energy costs per square metre of floor area required to achieve a satisfactory heating regime. The NHER of a property is assessed on a scale of 0‐10 with ranges of: poor 0‐2, moderate 3‐6 and good 7‐10.

Although the eventual 26% location of applicants upon re‐housing is not tracked these figures do give an 4% indication of demand across the county and it can be assumed that there is a 9% strong correlation between the applicants area of origin and their re‐ housing area of preference. 11% 18%

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 51 Crime and Safety East Lothian is a relatively safe place to live, with levels of serious crime and disorder that are significantly below the Scottish average. However crime, anti‐social behaviour and the fear of crime can undermine community cohesion and have an impact upon local people’s quality of life. This section therefore focuses not only on official crime statistics but also how people feel about the safety of their area.

HEADLINES – Crime and Safety  In the East Lothian Residents Survey 2017, 88% of respondents in the Dunbar & East Linton ward felt the crime rate had stayed about the same during the last 2 years  Lothian and Borders Police figures in 2011/12 show that the number of reported crimes in the ward dropped by 27% from the previous year  The number of reported crimes per 10,000 people, 282 per 10,000 in the Dunbar and East Linton ward, remains significantly below the rate for East Lothian of 393 per 10,000  No data zones in the ward are within the 20% most affected by crime in the SIMD crime categories  99% of respondents in the ward felt that @very/fairly safe@ walking alone in their local neighbourhood after dark (compared to 85% in East Lothian as a whole)

How do people think crime rates have changed? The East Lothian Residents Survey (2017) asked residents how they thought crime rates had changed in their neighbourhood and across East Lothian. Figure 61 ‐ Perceptions of Crime Rates (East Lothian Residents Survey 2017)

52 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 Reported Crimes in the Ward Lothian and Borders Police regularly published the number of crimes reported in each ward, organised in five crime groups. Figure 62 shows the number of crimes: - reported in each area; - how many crimes are reported for every 10,000 people living in the area; and - whether the number of reported crimes has gone up or down compared to the previous year. These Lothian and Borders Police statistics show that for most categories of crime the rate of reported incidences is dropping across East Lothian.  Although 84% of people in Dunbar and East Linton ward felt crime had either risen or stayed the same in their neighbourhoods these figures show that the number of reported crimes in 2011/12 was down by 27% from the previous year.  The number of reported crimes per 10,000 people in this ward remains significantly below the rate for East Lothian as a whole.

 In the Dunbar and East Linton ward there was a 43% increase in the number of reported ‘Crimes of Violence’ in 2010/11 – compared to a 29% drop across East Lothian as a whole. The low numbers of these types of crimes in the ward however means that the rate of crimes of violence per 10,000 people is still below the East Lothian average.  Group 2 ‘Sexual crimes’ showed the most significant rise in reported incidences across all areas. Here there has been a 34% increase in reported crimes across East Lothian from 2010/11 and a 25% increase in the Dunbar and East Linton Ward.

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 53 Crime Domain The SIMD Crime Domain is based on the following factors: Recorded SIMD crime rates for domestic house breaking, drug offences, common assault, crimes of violence, vandalism and sexual offences

54 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 Fear of Crime People’s fear of crime does not always reflect the actual rate of crime occurring in their local areas. The East Lothian Resident Survey (2017) asked ‘To what extent do you feel threatened by crime in your neighbourhood?’ The results are shown in Figure 64.  99% of adult residents in the ward did not feel threatened by crime in their neighbourhoods.

DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 57 Transport and Travel Access to transport is fundamental to maintaining today’s lifestyles, whether it is for work, education, leisure or to attain the goods and services people rely on in their daily lives. The dispersed, rural nature of many of East Lothian’s settlements also increases the need for travel. While the personal freedoms offered by the car are recognised, the downside is traffic congestion and, until alternative technologies become widespread, the problem of exhaust emissions. A key way for East Lothian to reduce its carbon footprint would be to improve connections between communities, encourage the use of more sustainable modes of transport (where practical) including walking, cycling and public transport and investigate ways of reducing the overall need for travel.

HEADLINES – Transport and Travel  In 13% of working households the main earner commutes to work outside East Lothian  In 93% of working households the main earner travels to work by car  7 data zones in the ward are in the 20% most access deprived in East Lothian and Scotland, 3 of which are in the 10% most access deprived in East Lothian and Scotland

60 DUNBAR & EAST LINTON WARD PROFILE – November 2017 Environment The quality of the natural environment is one of East Lothian`s greatest assets. Across the county communities have access to a wide range of public open/green spaces including coastal and countryside sites, woodlands, parks, amenity open spaces, green corridors, village greens, play areas, school grounds and civic spaces which offer positive benefits to the health and well‐being of local communities. Figure 73 over the page illustrates the availability of greenspace in Dunbar. At a neighbourhood level however environmental quality concerns – like dog fouling, litter, traffic congestion, graffiti, abandoned vehicles etc – can affect people’s perceptions of their environment and influence their quality of life.

HEADLINES – Environment  84% of residents in the Dunbar & East Linton ward were satisfied with the parks, gardens and open spaces in East Lothian  There were 23 reports of fly‐tipping in the ward, accounting for 8% of all incidences in East Lothian  Approximately 78% of P6 students and 70% of S2 students agreed they had the opportunity to get involved with environmental issues in their neighbourhood

The quality of the local environment The East Lothian Residents Survey (2017) showed that:  7% of respondents in the ward reported that they considered parks and open spaces to be a priority for making somewhere a good place to live, which was lower than the East Lothian average of 17%  84% of respondents in the ward were very satisfied/satisfied with the with the parks, gardens and open spaces provided in East Lothian  97% of respondents in the ward felt that a high quality natural environment was a very important/important priority for the East Lothian Partnership, compared to 96% for East Lothian Figure 72 ‐ Satisfaction with parks, gardens and open spaces (East Lothian Residents Survey 2017)
