Unemployment for Central Bedfordshire as a whole was 3.0%. (Source: Jobseeker’s Allowance Claimant Count) Deprivation In Central Bedfordshire, no small areas are within the worst 20% in England using the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). In the Ampthill / Flitwick locality, one small area, Flitwick East 400, is the eighth most deprived in Central Bedfordshire, and is in the worst 10-20% in the East of England. In addition, 31% of older people in Flitwick East 400 live in income deprived households. Notes on deprivation: • The index of multiple deprivation (IMD) calculates overall deprivation at small area level for the whole of England. • Older people’s deprivation is measured using the income deprivation affecting older people index (IDAOPI), also at small area level. • The small areas used to calculate deprivation (both IMD and IDAOPI) are called lower super output areas (LSOAs). There are 154 small areas in Central Bedfordshire. Each contains around 1,500 people. • Small areas are identified using the ward name and a three digit code.

  • Central Bedfordshire Council Air Quality Action Plan
    Central Bedfordshire Council Appendix A Central Bedfordshire Council Air Quality Action Plan In fulfilment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management 2019 - 2024 Central Bedfordshire Council Local Authority Kay Sterling Officer Department Public Protection Priory House, Monks Walk, Chicksands, Address Shefford, Bedfordshire, SG17 5TQ Telephone 0300 300 5065 E-mail [email protected] Report Reference Ampthill & Sandy AQAP 2019 - 2024 number Date 2018 Central Bedfordshire Council Executive Summary This Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) has been produced as part of our statutory duties required by the Local Air Quality Management framework. It outlines the action we will take to improve air quality in Central Bedfordshire between 2019 and 2024. This is the first action plan relating to the Air Quality Management Areas declared in 2015 (Ampthill and Sandy). Air pollution is associated with many adverse health impacts. It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. Central Bedfordshire Council is committed to reducing the exposure of people in Central Bedfordshire to poor air quality to improve health. Air Quality within Central Bedfordshire is generally good; the main source of air pollution is from road traffic emissions, specifically nitrogen dioxide (NO2).

  • Central Bedfordshire Council – Updated Position on Meeting Unmet Housing Needs Rising from Luton 20Th November 2020
    Central Bedfordshire Council – Updated Position on Meeting Unmet Housing Needs rising from Luton 20th November 2020 The submitted Central Bedfordshire Council Local Plan commits to making provision to meet Luton’s unmet housing needs, and sufficient sites are allocated as a result. Nothing has changed in this regard. The following information is extracted from Central Bedfordshire Council’s response to the Inspector’s Further MIQs for their hearings due to be re-convened in December 2020 (Matter 5, Issue 1, Q3): The Council submitted EXAM 41, following discussions at the hearing sessions in 2019. It presented a list of sitesto be added to Policy SP1, within the Housing Market Area (HMA),that could meet Luton’s needs within their plan period (up to 2031). Following the update of the Housing Trajectory, and as a result of the Modifications being proposed by the Council, these sites are no longer estimated to provide sufficient capacity to meet this need (providing just over 7,300 homes). As such, the list requires amendment to include additional sites. Therefore, in order to reflect the fact that the OAN for Luton should ideally be met within the HMA, all proposed allocations that fall within the HMA have been added to the list. This reflects the fact that any of these sites could be attributed to meeting this need, as well as the needs of Central Bedfordshire, and also provides maximum flexibility. In line with this, Policy SP1 is proposed to be modified as follows (the additional sites are highlighted in red for ease): In addition, the unmet housing needs of 7,350 homes arising from Luton will be delivered by 2031 through a combination of the following sites within the Luton HMA: (SC1) North Houghton Regis (1&2) (SA1) North of Luton (HAS05) Land East of Barton le Clay (HAS07) Caddington Park, Caddington (HAS14) Land off Eaton Park, Eaton Bray (HAS17) Land South West of Steppingley Road, Flitwick (HAS18) Site adj.
