Four dimensions from the Census returns have been identified as giving an indication of household deprivation. Households are considered deprived if one or more of the following definitions applies to that household: Employment – any member of the household aged 16-74 who is not a full-time student is classified as either unemployed or permanently sick. Education – no member of the household aged 16 to pensionable age has at least 5 GCSE’s (grade A to C) or equivalent AND no member of the household aged 16 to 18 is in full-time education. Health and disability – any member of the household has general health ‘not good’ in the year before the census or has a limiting long term illness. Housing – The household’s accommodation is either overcrowded, or is in a shared dwelling, or does not have sole use of bath/shower and toilet, or has no central heating. 8 Classification of household deprivation (number of households) Epsom and Ewell South East Not deprived Deprived on Deprived on Deprived on Deprived on Not deprived Deprived on on any 1 2 3 all 4 on any 1 or more dimension dimension dimensions dimensions dimensions dimension dimensions Urban 10,600 9,392 5,168 1,102 122 894,858 1,671,844 Rural 434 361 192 29 - 277,521 443,090 Less Sparse 434 361 192 29 - 277,406 442,550 Town 190 183 108 19 - 116,111 204,884 Village 244 178 84 10 - 107,661 165,481 Dispersed - - - - - 53,634 72,185 Sparse -- - - -115540 Town -- - - -18109 Village -- - - -97431 Dispersed -- - - --- Source table from the Census: UV67 Classification of household deprivation Comparison of household deprivation in urban and rural parts of the Authority 100% Deprived on all 4 dimensions 90% 80% Deprived on 3 70% dimensions 60% Deprived on 2 50% dimensions 40% 30% Deprived on 1 Proportion of households dimension 20% 10% Not deprived on 0% any dimension Urban Epsom Rural Epsom South East and Ewell and Ewell Source table from the Census: UV67 Classification of household deprivation Health and provision of unpaid care There were two measure of ‘health’ on the Census.

The “ICNIRP Declaration” certifies that the site is designed to be in full compliance with the requirements of the radio frequency (RF) guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) for public exposure as expressed in the EU Council recommendation of July 1999. This ICNIRP declaration takes into account the cumulative effect of the emissions from the proposed installation and all radio base stations present at, or near, the proposed location. The radio emission compliance calculation is based upon the maximum possible cumulative values. All operators of radio transmitters are under a legal obligation to operate those transmitters in accordance with the conditions of their licence. Operation of the transmitter in accordance with the conditions of the licence fulfils the legal obligations in respect of interference to other radio systems, other electrical equipment, instrumentation or air traffic systems. The conditions of the licence are mandated by Ofcom, an agency of national government, who are responsible for the regulation of the civilian radio spectrum. The remit of Ofcom also includes investigation and remedy of any reported significant interference.

    Our ref: TC/scw Your ref: E-mail: [email protected] Boris Johnson, Mayor of London (London Infrastructure Plan 2050) Direct line: 01403 215101 GLA City Hall, Contact: The Queen’s Walk, Date: 29 October 2014 London SE1 2AA Dear Mr Johnson London Infrastructure Plan 2050 – July 2014 I am writing on behalf of the Gatwick Diamond Local Authorities* in response to your consultation on the London Infrastructure Plan 2050. By way of introduction, you may wish to note that the Gatwick Diamond Local Authorities have a history of cooperation on strategic planning and development issues. We link closely to, and on key economic issues form part of, the Gatwick Diamond Initiative, one of the five spatial partnerships which make up the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership. We have an agreed Memorandum of Understanding setting out how we work together on issues which cross local authority boundaries and a Local Strategic Statement, finalised in early 2012, which we are looking to update. We intend to liaise closely with areas outside the Gatwick Diamond, including London, as we look to review the Local Strategic Statement. We acknowledge that infrastructure to support the projected scale of economic and population growth to 2050 is a key issue for London and that a coordinated infrastructure plan is highly desirable. However, we note that the Plan explores a number of scenarios about where growth can be accommodated within London and beyond London’s boundaries ‘as a precursor to the next full revision of the London Plan after 2016’. Indicative maps in the Plan and supporting documentation highlight the Gatwick area as a potential growth area in the context of accommodating some of London’s forecast increase in population.

  • Commuting in London
    CIS 2014-11 Commuting in London July 2014 The 2011 Census recorded the place of work and method of travel to work of all respondents aged 16 or over. The Special Workplace Statistics dataset provides information on travel to work flows and the characteristics of workers based on where they live (origin) and where they work (destination). This summary document provides an overview of commuting in London and is based on the first origin- destination outputs from the 2011 Census which were released on 25th July, 2014. Key Findings Net commuting inflow from the rest of England and Wales to London was 519,000 in 2011 up seven per cent since 2001. Both inflows and outflows were higher than in 2001: inflows rose nine per cent to 790,000 while outflows rose 15 per cent to 271,000. Within London, more than two million persons worked in a different local authority to their residence. Nearly 400,000 workers commuted into Westminster from the rest of London, while 115,000 commuted out of Wandsworth to the rest of London. The largest single cross-border flow was 29,100 from Wandsworth to Westminster. Twenty-four local authorities outside London had 10,000 or more London commuters. Dartford replaced Slough as the top destination for commuters from London. 356,500 people commuted to jobs in the City of London. 40 per cent from inner London, 29 per cent from outer London, 31 per cent from outside London 558,900 people commuted to jobs in Westminster. 46 per cent from inner London, 32 per cent from outer London, 23 per cent from outside London 103,500 people commuted to jobs in Canary Wharf.

Britain, he said, should be “a place where a good life is in reach for everyone who is willing to work and do the right thing”. His would be a Government that offered opportunity to all, no matter where they came from. These are welcome commitments but in this report we examine the very real challenges facing the Government in creating a One Nation Britain. For the first time it identifies the most and the least socially mobile areas of the country. It does so by examining in detail the chances available to young people from poorer backgrounds in each of the 324 local authority areas in England to get the educational qualifications they need to succeed in life, and the opportunities in the local area to convert those qualifications into a good job and a decent standard of living. The Social Mobility Index uncovers a new geography of disadvantage in England. For decades the conventional wisdom has been that geographical inequalities in social mobility are drawn across simple boundaries: the North versus the South; rich areas versus poor areas; town versus country. Our analysis suggests that some of this is right – there are worrying signs, for example, that London and its commuter belt is pulling away from the rest of the country when it comes to the chances of youngsters getting into good schools and good jobs.
