3 Introduction

This report provides an overview of the characteristics of North Kesteven. It examines the current performance of the District using key social, economic and environmental indicators. These have been classified according to the Council’s Corporate Priorities – Our Economy, Our Homes and Our Communities.

The information can be used to help us more effectively meet the needs of our communities through setting out the District’s strengths as well as the issues and challenges that face us.

An Overview

North Kesteven is in the East , situated just over 100 miles north of . It is located east of and south of Lincoln. North Kesteven is one of seven districts in Lincolnshire and is in the centre of the County. It covers an area of 356 square miles or 92,000 hectares, of which 95% is classified as green space, which includes agricultural land and open space (NLUD and LCC, 2008). The principal sectors of the economy include food and agriculture, engineering, tourism and construction. The emergent engineering sector has potential to grow, with a focus on engines and turbines, and sector specialisms related to medical, precision and optical equipment, and electrical machinery (NK: An Economic Prospectus, 2013).

The District is characterised by small settlements and large areas of arable farmland. More than 64% of the population live in rural settlements, including settlements or villages or market towns (DEFRA, 2009). North Kesteven also has a relatively underdeveloped transport infrastructure. As a result, local communities have historically been self-reliant, with and town councils providing services, such as playing fields or play areas, which are frequently provided by district councils elsewhere. The of Sleaford has the potential for growth, with significant private sector investment related to renewable energy, retailing, employment, and heritage led regeneration (Sleaford Masterplan 2011), whilst offers significant employment and economic development opportunities as a key part of the business district for Greater Lincoln.

5 Our Economy

Business and Enterprise

A dynamic local enterprise culture is vital for the long-term competitiveness and overall success of any local economy. This profile assesses the extent of an enterprise culture in North Kesteven.

North Kesteven’s overall business and enterprise score is ranked as above average when compared to other districts in , indicating a performing enterprise culture. This measure is calculated by the new business formation rate, the business survival rate and the growth in business stock over the last five years.

The new business start-up rate is ranked at 10.67% of all business registering for VAT compared to the Great Britain average of 11.72%. In addition, North Kesteven ranks in the top 25% of English districts for businesses surviving longer than two years (Local Futures).

In terms of business counts, there is a higher percentage of micro enterprises (0-9) in North Kesteven (90%) compared to the Great Britain average of 88.2%. Smaller enterprises (10-49) are slightly below the Great Britain average (8.2% compared to 9.7%), as are medium enterprises (50- 249) (1.5% compared to 1.7%). In addition, large enterprises (250+) are also slightly below the average at 0.2% compared to the Great Britain average of 0.4% (ONS, 2013).

Prosperity and Wealth

The average income in North Kesteven is £23,906, which is less than the Great Britain average of £26,941. However, the average income in the District can be indexed to the Great Britain average to form a prosperity score which is relative to the national trend (Local Futures).

Other measures of wealth include the average number of rooms per household and car ownership. The average number of rooms per household in North Kesteven is high at 6.1, which ranks the District in the top 40% of districts in England (ONS, 2011 5).

In addition, the Census 2011 shows that nearly half of all households (45%) have 1 vehicle; a third (33%) have 2 vehicles; 7% have 3 vehicles; 2% have 4 vehicles or more, whilst 13% of households have no vehicle (ONS, 2011 5).

6

Labour Market

In 2000, the EU Lisbon Strategy set an employment rate target of 70% by 2010. Since then, the recession has had a major impact on the labour market. This profile uses the employment rate as an overall measure of labour market performance in North Kesteven, but also presents a range of other measures, such as unemployment and incapacity benefit claimants to provide a fuller analysis of labour market conditions.

With 82% of its population economically active, North Kesteven has a high employment rate when compared to other districts in England. Only 1.3% of residents are claiming job seekers allowance or national insurance credits compared 2.4% in England and 2.3% in the . A lower than average proportion of this group have been claiming for 12 months or more (0.3%) compared to 0.7% as the England average and 0.7% in the East Midlands (ONS, 2014).

Proportionally, less people in North Kesteven claim incapacity benefits (4.1%) than most other districts in the East Midlands (5.7%) and Great Britain (6.2%).

In North Kesteven, 19% of the population have a disability or limiting long-standing illness (ONS, 2011 3). Health problems have an impact on how many people are available to the District economy but also on what work they can do and what hours they can work.

It is also important to remember that health problems do not only affect the individual directly, but also have secondary effects on carers’ ability to be economically active. 12,193 (11.3%) District residents provide unpaid care. When these statistics have been broken down further, 7% provide 1 to 19 hours; 14% provide 20 to 49 hours; and 3% provide 50 or more hours unpaid care a week (ONS, 2011 3).

Skills and Qualifications

Human capital is the prerequisite of a successful economy. The resident workforce should ideally have a good blend of academic and vocational skills.

In this overall assessment of skills and qualifications of North Kesteven residents, a composite measure is used that is based on each of the four NVQ levels, with greater weighting attached to the higher levels.

North Kesteven residents are very highly qualified when compared to other Districts in England and rank within the top 25% of district authorities (ONS, 2011 3). In addition, GCSE pass rates are a precursor to the future potential workforce and a measure of the quality of local schools. The percentage of Key Stage 4 pupils who have achieved 5 A*-C including English and Maths are higher in North Kesteven at 65.9% than the England average at 58.4%.

Economic Performance

Strong economic foundations are critical to the future success of an area, creating quality employment opportunities for local people. This profile measures the productivity, scale and growth of the economy in North Kesteven.

Productivity measures the performance of the economy in an area, by combining GVA per head with workplace earnings. In contrast, the economic scale examines the absolute size of the economy and is derived from an area’s share of Great Britain’s total GVA and the employment base. Finally, economic growth is assessed by an area’s change in total employment, giving an indication of the growth/decline of the local economy.

North Kesteven’s economic productivity is ranked as below average when compared to other areas. However, due to the rural nature of the district, it follows national trends that there would be more of an inclination towards a smaller employment base. However, the increase in the number of people employed is outpacing the vast majority of districts (Local Futures).

In terms of economic activity, 82% of people in the District are economically active, which is above the England average of 77% and above the East Midlands average of 78% (ONS, 2013-14). Of those aged 16 to 64 in the District, 28% work part-time (30 hours or less each week) compared to 71% who work full-time. Broken down further, 12% of males and 46% of females work part-time compared to 88% of males and 54% of females who work full-time (ONS, 2011 5).

8

Industrial Structure

Throughout the global economy, the critical structural trend is the growth of the knowledge- economy. This industrial structure profile distinguishes between knowledge-based production (aerospace, electrical machinery manufacture, printing and publishing, and chemicals and energy) and knowledge-based services (telecommunications, computing, research and development, finance and business services, and recreational and cultural services). These industrial groupings are based on European Commission and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development definitions, where individual industries are classified as knowledge-based if graduates make up at least 25% of their workforce.

North Kesteven is ranked low on the overall industrial structure score with knowledge-intensive sectors in North Kesteven accounting for 11.28% of total employment, which is below the Great Britain average of 18.48%. The proportion of people employed in these sectors is falling in the District, which is in line with the Great Britain average. In addition, the public services sector can act as an important driver of the knowledge economy and, crucially, provides a buffer against economic downturns (Local Futures).

The table below details the number and proportion of working-age people in North Kesteven working in each industry (ONS, 20115):

Industry Number % All Usual Residents Aged 16 to 64 in Employment 52428 A Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing 1427 3.5% B Mining and Quarrying 97 0.2% C Manufacturing 5001 12.3% D Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply 252 0.6% E Water Supply; Sewerage, Waste Management, Remediation Activities 582 1.4% F Construction 4237 10.4% G Wholesale and Retail Trade; Repair of Motor Vehicles and Motor Cycles 8170 20.1% H Transport and Storage 2102 5.2% I Accommodation and Food Service Activities 2341 5.8% J Information and Communication 1130 2.8% K Financial and Insurance Activities 794 2.0% L Real Estate Activities 485 1.2% M Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities 2278 5.6% N Administrative and Support Service Activities 1789 4.4% O Public Administration and Defence; Compulsory Social Security 7916 19.5% P Education 4779 11.8% Q Human Health and Social Work Activities 6888 17.0% R, S, T, U Other 2160 5.3%

9 Our Homes

Housing

Whilst housing affordability is a national problem, its impacts are not evenly spread. In the past year in North Kesteven, there has been a 0.4% increase for the average house price with North Kesteven still having above average affordability (Land Registry, 2013).

75% of people in the District own a house (either outright or with a mortgage or loan); 0.4% are in a shared ownership; 9.4% are in socially rented accommodation (including renting from the Council); 13.7% are in private rented accommodation and 1.1% are living rent free (ONS, 2011 3).

Nationally there is a strong correlation between income and house prices. The average house price in North Kesteven is £167,098, which is less than the UK average of £238,293 (Land Registry, 2013).

Within this section, North Kesteven has seen many council properties being built within the District. This includes council properties being in various locations throughout the area, plus a high number of affordable homes being completed. This is in addition to the Council helping to bring back into use empty homes through a variety of measures.

The Census 2011 figures show that North Kesteven has experienced growth across most age groups between 2001 and 2011, the exceptions being those aged 5-9 and 30-44. The largest increase in the population of North Kesteven can be seen in the 45-49 age group, whilst large increases in population also occurred in the age groups of 60-64 and 65-74. The most represented age group in North Kesteven in 2011 is now the 45-49 group compared to the 35-39 age group in 2001.

11 When compared with the rest of the County, those age groups that did experience a decrease in population were broadly in line with those at the county level. However the decrease in the 30-34 age group in North Kesteven was more pronounced. The biggest percentage increases in the North Kesteven population were experienced in older age groups, which again was in line with the County trend.

Ethnicity and Nationality

The vast majority of people (96%) living in the District are White British. The remaining 4% of the population include other White backgrounds (2.3%); Asian or Asian British (0.7%); Mixed/Multiple Ethnic Group (0.7%); Black, African, Caribbean, Black British (0.2%); and other Ethnic Group (0.1%).

The majority of people (95%) living in the District are born in the UK. The remaining 5% of the population are born in Ireland (0.4%), Europe (excluding the UK and Ireland) (2.7%), Africa (0.6%), Middle East and Asia (0.8%) and the Americas and the Caribbean (0.5%) (ONS, 2011 3).

The top five languages in the District (ONS, 2011 4) are:

1. English – 102,800 people (98.4%) 2. Polish – 435 people (0.4%) 3. Lithuanian – 162 people (0.2%) 4. Latvian – 91 people (0.1%) 5. German – 91 people (0.1%)

The majority of people resident in NK are Christian (70%), followed by 22% of people who are of no religion. 0.23% of people in the District are Muslim, 0.16% are Hindu, 0.14% are Buddhist, 0.06% are Jewish and 0.05% are Sikhs. In addition, 7.08% of people did not state their religion and 0.34% are of other religions (ONS, 2011 4).

Disability

81% of people living in the District do not have a disability or long-term health problem and their day to day activities are not limited. However, 11% of people said that their disability or long-term health problem limits their day to day activities ‘a little’ and 8% said it limits their day to day activities ‘a lot’ (ONS, 2011 3).

12 Health and Wellbeing

Nationally, there have been major improvements in public health over the last century, with large increases in life expectancy. However, this overall picture can mask significant geographical variations and health inequality, therefore the Public Health Observatories and the Department of Health release annual health profiles for each District (PHO, 2014). They provide a picture of people’s health in each District and are designed to help local government and health services understand their community’s needs so that they can work to improve people’s health and reduce health inequalities.

Life expectancy is increasing in North Kesteven, mirroring the national trend. The life expectancy at birth is now 79.5 years for males and 83.5 years for females. This is above average when compared to other districts in England and are both improvements on 2011 figures (79.3 for males and 83.1 for females). However, life expectancy is 6.9 years lower for men and 4.0 years lower for women in the most deprived areas of North Kesteven than in the least deprived areas.

Key indicators are used within the Public Health Profile to understand children’s and young people’s health throughout England. The key indicators show that children in poverty, obese children and alcohol-specific hospital stays for children under the age of 18 within North Kesteven are all below the national average.

In terms of adult health, this is broken down further into: health and lifestyle; disease and poor health; and life expectancy. In terms of health and lifestyle, the percentage of people physically active is higher than the England average and there is less likelihood that people will start smoking. However, there are slightly larger numbers of people classed as obese in North Kesteven when compared with the England average.

For the disease and poor health category, it highlights that drug misuse is significantly lower than the England average. In addition, incidences of tuberculosis and acute sexually transmitted diseases are lower when compared with the England average. However, recorded diabetes was higher than the England average. In terms of life expectancy, the Health Profiles demonstrate that excess winter deaths, smoking related deaths and infant mortality are all lower when compared with the England average. However, the rate of people killed and seriously injured on roads is worse than the England average.

In terms of general health, the Census 2011 figures show that 82% of people view their health as ‘very good’ or ‘good’, whilst 14% said they are of ‘fair health’ and 5% said they are of ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’ health (ONS, 2011 5).

13 Crime Levels

Crime levels affect an area’s ‘liveability’, and reflect the socioeconomic conditions of the area and its surroundings. Nationally, there have been some reductions in crime over recent years, although the introduction of the National Crime Recording Standard in 2002 boosted national crime figures.

The North Kesteven Community Safety Partnership area has the lowest recorded crime levels placing North Kesteven first place in the country (in comparison to 7 th place that North Kesteven held last year). This represents 24.62 crimes per 1000 head of population. Please see the summary below:

Crime 2012/13 2013/14 Actual Offences Offences Change Overall Crime 2918 2690 -228 Violence against the person 398 346 -52 Robbery offences 5 7 2 Sexual offences 42 72 30 Domestic burglary 179 149 -30 Burglary other than dwelling 353 328 -25 Theft of a motor vehicle 62 44 -18 Theft from a motor vehicle 308 270 -38 Theft of a cycle 78 65 -13 Theft other 715 791 76 Criminal Damage 497 447 -50 Fraud or Forgery 104 7 -97 Drugs 111 106 -5 Other 66 58 -8

14 Inequality and Deprivation

The Government’s standard measure of deprivation and inequality in England is known as the ‘Indices of Deprivation’. The Indices measure a number of deprivation aspects, called domains, including disadvantage in education, income, employment, health and housing. England has been divided into small areas called Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs), each containing an average of 1,500 residents. They are much smaller than electoral wards, but are constrained by electoral ward boundaries. There is a total of 32,482 LSOAs in England, 60 of which are in North Kesteven.

This measure is used by the Office for National Statistics and are designed to improve the reporting of statistics. LSOAs are designed to be consistent in size, allowing for comparisons to be more meaningfully made. They have replaced electoral wards as the primary means of the dissemination of small area statistics.

Deprivation in North Kesteven

In terms of average score, North Kesteven is ranked 270 out of 326 local authorities in England (where 1 is the most deprived local authority). This is a fall from 2007 where the District ranked 297.

In North Kesteven, no LSOAs rank among the most deprived 20% in the country and four LSOAs rank among the 40% most deprived. 27 LSOAs, or 45% of all LSOAs, in the District are among the 20% least deprived in the country.

The most deprived areas of North Kesteven are concentrated in a few wards, to the East of the District ( and Kyme) and in the Sleaford area (Sleaford Castle and Sleaford ). The most deprived area in the District is part of Sleaford Castle ward, which is ranked 9,249 out of 32,482 in England (where 1 is the most deprived).

The least deprived LSOA is part of and Ward and is ranked 32,450.

Please see Appendix 1 for more information.

15 Transport and Connectivity

Transport and connectivity have a major influence on an area’s ability to attract business and investment. As North Kesteven is a rural district, this is reflected in the low local connectivity score which assesses North Kesteven using a composite of measures. These measures include distance from London, the concentration of transport hubs (such as motorway junctions, airports, ports and mainline railway stations), and the area’s proximity to transport hubs in neighbouring places.

It takes an average North Kesteven resident 22 minutes to get to work; this is slightly higher than the English district average of 20 minutes. Also, 47% of residents drive a car or van to work and 4% work mainly at or from home. 1.9% catch a bus, minibus or coach to work; 0.8% use a train; 0.06% use the underground, metro, light rail or tram; 0.2% use a taxi; 0.6% use a motorcycle, scooter or moped; 3.3% are a passenger in a car or van, 2.6% use a bicycle and 6% walk. In addition, 0.4% use another method of travel to work (ONS, 2011 3).

Natural Environment

The natural environment is a subjective theme, which makes benchmarking problematic. It can be assessed in terms of areas of outstanding natural beauty, green space, green belt and heritage coast alongside tranquillity and weather.

The overall natural environment score for North Kesteven is higher than most other district areas. This is due to the rural tranquillity and good air quality, which means that North Kesteven has a good natural environment to live in.
