1. Introduction

1.1 The profile provides comparative information on the North West Sector Community Planning Partnership (CPP) area, including demographic & socio economic, employment, health and neighbourhood management information.

1.2 North West Glasgow is diverse in socio economic terms, as illustrated by the map, as it contains Glasgow’s city centre/ business area, the more affluent west end of Glasgow but also localities with significant issues relating to employment, health and poverty. The North West is the academic centre of the City with the three Glasgow Universities located in the sector and also has many cultural & historical buildings of interest as well as large areas of green space.

2. Executive Summary

Demographic Information

2.1 Population

According to the 2011 Census,

 The North West sector population was 206,483. The population in the North West Sector increased by 13,773 (7.1%) from 2001 Census. The population increase in the North West equated to 90% of the total population increase (15,376) in Glasgow. The largest population increase among the 21 Glasgow Multi Member Electoral (MME) wards in the period 2001 and 2011 was in Anderston/City (7,399 - 34%);

 83% of the population was White – British or Irish. The minority ethnic population, including Black or Minority Ethnic (BME – 11.9%) and other white non UK/non Irish (4.9%), was higher than the overall Glasgow level (BME 11.6%; Other white non UK/Non Irish 3.9%);

 73% (151,345) of the North West Sector’s population was of working age (16-64). This is a significantly higher level than in the rest of Glasgow/Scotland. Just over 1 in every 4 people in the North West was a child (<16) or older person (>65) whereas in the rest of Scotland the level of children/older people was more than 1 in 3.

2.2 Housing

 As of the 1st April 2014, the total housing stock in North West Sector was estimated at 105,638;

 nearly two thirds (65.5%) of the North West housing stock is owner occupied (41.7%) or private rented (23.7%). The number and percentage of private rented property in Glasgow has increased throughout the last twenty five years. The recent increase in the private rented property sector in the city has been greatest in the North West with an increase of over five thousand in the private rented stock since 2011;

 nearly 80% of the North West housing stock is a flat type dwelling which is ten percentage points higher than the percentage of flats in the rest of Glasgow. Anderston/City MME ward has the highest percentage (98.2%) of flat dwellings among Glasgow’s MME wards;

 nearly 40% of the dwellings in the North West are rated in Council Tax Bands D (more than £45,000) and above which is 15 percentage points higher that than the comparable percentage (24.2%) of dwellings in the rest of Glasgow.

2.3 Poverty/Deprivation

 83 of the 229 datazone areas within the North West have been ranked within the worst 15% of datazones in Scotland. Using 2010 population estimates,

nearly a third (n 66,903 - 32.7%) of people in the North West reside in a datazone area ranked among the worst 15% datazone areas in Scotland;

 at the other end of the deprivation scale, 21.8% of the North West population reside in a best 25% Scottish datazone area.

Labour Market/Employment/Benefit Information

2.4 Economic Activity

According to the 2011 Census,

 the North West had a lower percentage (68%) of its working age residents that were economically active than in the rest of Glasgow (71%) and Glasgow City (70%);

 the North West unemployment rate was 12%, which was slightly below the level in the rest of Glasgow (12.2%) and Glasgow (12.1%);

 the North West had o a higher percentage (28.5%) of its residents that assessed their employment status as either “Higher managerial/professional” or “Lower managerial/ professional” than in the rest of the city; o more than twice the percentage of residents assessed as “full time students” than in the rest of Glasgow. Excluding the full time students, more than a third (36%) of the residents in the North West assessed their employment status as either “Higher managerial/professional” or “Lower managerial/ professional”. The comparative level for Glasgow is 29%.

2.5 Benefit Claimants

 The North West, pre and post-recession, has had a lower level of key out of work benefit claimants than the equivalent level in the rest of Glasgow;

 more than two thirds (n 16,270; 67%) of the key out of work benefit claimants in the North West are receiving Employment Support Assistance (ESA)/Incapacity Benefit (IB). This means that more than 1 in every 10 (10.8%) of working age residents in the North West is receiving ESA/IB. 40% of the ESA/IB claimants have been receiving ESA/IB for in excess of 2 years and 11% have been receiving ESA/IB for in excess of 5 years;

 pre and post-recession, the North West Job Seeker Allowance (JSA) claimant rate has been lower than the Glasgow rate and higher than the Scottish rate;

 currently, the number of JSA claimants in the North West is 2.3% lower than it was in August 2008. The JSA working age claimant rate across the North West varies from 2.3% in Partick West and Hillhead MME wards to nearly double (4.5%) in Drumchapel/Anniesland MME ward;

 the North West, pre and post-recession, has a lower level of young (under 25s) JSA claimants than in the rest of Glasgow. Currently, the young JSA claimant rate in the North West is 46% lower than the level in the rest of Glasgow;

 there has been a 37% reduction in the number and rate of young JSA claimants within the North West compared to the level pre-recession (August 2008);

 young JSA claimants in the North West currently make up a fifth (19.3%) of all JSA claimants whereas in August 2008, young JSA claimants made up 30% of the overall JSA claimants in the sector;

2.6 Education

 The attainment levels in Glasgow schools (S4-S6) improved in all nine categories compared to 2011 and in eight of the nine categories compared to 2012;

 the attainment position for S4-S6 pupils attending schools in the North West is mixed as:

o in five of the indicator categories, a minority of the eight North West schools achieved an attainment level that was above the Glasgow level;

o in three North West schools, a higher percentage of pupils achieved above the Glasgow attainment average in all nine categories. A higher percentage of pupils in two of the three schools achieved above the National attainment average in all nine categories;

o conversely, in four North West schools, the percentage of pupils was lower than the Glasgow attainment average in at least six of the nine categories. One school achieved less than the Glasgow attainment average in all nine categories.

 89% (1,281) of the 2012/13 North West school leavers left school with an initial positive destination. This was an improvement on the level (87.3%) for North West 2011/12 school leavers but was slightly below the overall 2012/13 Glasgow level (89.6%);

 the level of initial positive destinations within the North West varied from 82.4% (Garscadden/Scotstounhill) to 93.8% (Hillhead). The Garscadden/Scotstounhill level was the lowest among the 21 MME in Glasgow. If you excluded “Training” as a positive destination, there is a clear difference in the percentage of school leavers from Partick West (87.9%) and Hillhead (86.6%) AP areas going to a positive destination than in the other five North West AP areas (73.2% - 77.2%);

 at the follow up stage, there was a drop in the level of positive destinations across all North West AP areas with the North West level of positive destinations varying from 80.3% (Garscadden/Scotstounhill) to 90.6% (Hillhead);

 the initial destination returns for 2013/14 school leavers, based on school rather than home address, illustrates that

o the percentage of school leavers in Glasgow entering a positive destination is 89.7%, a rise of 0.5 percentage points in comparison to 2012/13. This is 2.6pp below the national average of 92.3%;

o the percentage of school leavers in North West Glasgow entering a positive destination is 90.3%, which is higher than the rest of Glasgow and is a rise of 1.3 percentage points in comparison to 2012/13;

o three North West secondary schools achieved a positive outcome destination level above the Scottish average;

o five North West secondary schools increased the percentage of school leavers with a position destination compared to 2012/13 with Knightswood Secondary improving by 7.1 percentage points;

o the level of initial positive destinations within the North West varied from 78.4% (Drumchapel High School - 2nd lowest level among the 30 second schools in Glasgow) to 94.9% (Hillhead Hill School – 4th highest level in Glasgow). The variation is even more marked when looking at individual destinations e.g. more than half the school leavers from Hyndland Secondary School went onto Higher Education compared to less than one in twelve school leavers from Drumchapel High.

Health Information

2.7 Based on 48 (2010) Health & Wellbeing indicators, the relative scores for the North West CHP sector were:

 thirty-nine indicators scored significantly worse than the national average;

 four indicators scored significantly better than the national average;

 there were two indicators for which no significance can be calculated and one indicator that the difference from the national average was not deemed statistically significantly;

 two indicators had a statistically significant difference compared to national average but the indicators are such that categorization as better or worse than comparator average is not appropriate.

Significant health inequalities exist within the North West sector. These inequalities mirror the sector’s socio-economic profile as higher rate of illness/negative health behaviours and, consequently, lower life expectancy exists in areas of higher deprivation.

Neighbourhood Management

2.8 Information from the most recent (2011) Neighbourhood Management Survey included:

 More Police on the Streets (24%), More Employment for All (19%) and Clean Streets (14%) as the three most frequent responses to the question “what one thing would you change about your neighbourhood that would help improve your quality of life”;

 Drunk/Rowdy Behaviour (22.4% - range from 2% in Partick West to 31% Canal), Street Drinking (21.8% - range from 2% in Partick West to 32% Canal) and Disruptive Children/Teenagers (19.3% - range from 2% in Partick West to 33% Drumchapel/Anniesland) as the main community safety issues identified as a problem locally by North West residents;

It should be noted that 85% (range: 80% Drumchapel/Anniesland - 95% Partick West) of the surveyed North West residents had not, in the twelve months previously, personally experienced any of the twelve community safety issues that they were asked about.

2.9 Community Safety

 13 North West datazone areas are ranked in the highest 5% (35) of Glasgow Community Safety priority areas. 5% (c. 10,000) of North West’s population live in these 13 datazone areas;

 there is a clear link between North West Community Safety priority areas and deprivation as all the North West Community Safety priority areas are ranked as being among the worst 10% Scottish SIMD datazones;

 the number of fires in the North West reduced by 18% between 2011/12 and 2012/13. The percentage of fires in Glasgow that occurred in the North West reduced from 39.1% in 2011/12 to 36.8% in 2012/13. The number of fires in Anderston/City MME ward was the highest among the 21 MME wards in Glasgow;

 the rate of accidental dwelling fires in the North West in 2012/13 was higher in comparison with the rest of Glasgow and Scotland but the rate of deliberate fires was lower than in the rest of Glasgow.

2.10 Cleanliness and the Environment

 In relation to cleansing/environmental issues, there were 4,104 customer reports made during the period April – September 2014. More than half the customer reports related to “fly tipping”, with 86% of reports relating to “fly tipping”, “street cleaning” or “litter”;

 58% of the reports came from customers in Wards 10-12, with Hillhead MME ward being identified as the number 1 priority ward within Glasgow;

 during July – September 2014, there were 4,273 Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) issued in the North West and 906 Clean Ups or Own Observation Graffiti dealt with;

 91% of the FPNs were issued in the Anderston/City MME ward area, which was 18 times more FPNs compared to Partick West ward, which had the second most (5%) FPNs issued in the three months;

 95% of the FPNs were issued for litter related behaviour. Only 1 FPN was issued in the three months for Fly Tipping when over 50% of the reports during the six months (April – September 2014) was fly tipping related;

 nearly half 48% of the “own observation” graffiti dealt with in the North West during the three months was in Anderston/City MME Ward area.

 During 2002 -2004, three North West MME wards had, in terms of air pollution, a NO2 concentration above the Glasgow level and two MME Wards had a PM10 concentration above the Glasgow level;

 at that time, Anderston/City MME ward had the highest concentration of NO2 and PM10 among the 21 MME wards in Glasgow. The pollution levels in Anderston/City MME ward were also above the objective levels of 40 microgrammes per cubic metre for NO2 concentration and 18 microgrammes per cubic metre for PM10 concentration;

 more recent air pollution information, at specific locations within Glasgow, showed that the annual mean concentration of NO2 and PM10 in the air in 2012 was lower than the annual mean air quality objectives at all the Glasgow monitoring sites except for Glasgow Kerbside (the pavement of Hope Street adjacent to Glasgow Central Station).

3. Demographic & Socio Economic Information

Population

3.1 Based on the 2011 Census, the population within the North West Sector is 206,483. This equates to 34.8% of Glasgow’s population (593,245). The population in the North West Sector increased by 13,773 (7.1%) from 2001. The population increase in the North West equated to 90% of the total population increase (15,376) in Glasgow.

80% of the North West population increase was in the Anderston/City (7,399 – 34%) and Partick West (3,714–13%) MME wards. The numerical and percentage increase in the Anderston/City MME ward was the largest among the 21 MME wards in Glasgow. The latest (2013) mid-year estimates have estimated that the population in the North West has continued to increase to 207,695.

Table 2:2011 Census Populations North West Rest of Scotland Glasgow Rest of Glasgow (exc. Glasgow) No. % No. % No. % 0-15 28,684 13.9 66,943 17.3 820,074 17.4 16-64 151,345 73.3 264,108 68.3 3,073,285 65.4 16-24 40,301 19.5 49,421 12.8 542,766 11.5 65-65+ 26,454 12.8 55,711 14.4 808,169 17.2 TOTAL 206,483 100.0 386,762 100.0 4,702,158 100.0

3.2 Table 2 illustrates that the North West Sector has a significantly higher percentage of its population that is of working age than in the rest of Glasgow and Scotland. This is primarily due to the large student population in parts of the North West resulting in almost 1 in 5 residents in the North West being aged 16- 24. The large working age population means that just over 1 in 4 people in the North West are aged under 16 or over 64 whereas in the rest of Scotland the equivalent level is more than 1 in 3.

3.3 83% of the population are White – British or Irish. The minority ethnic population, including Black or Minority Ethnic (BME – 11.9%) and other white non UK/non Irish (4.9%), is higher than the overall Glasgow level (BME 11.6%; Other white non UK/Non Irish 3.9%). The percentage of minority ethnic populations varies significantly across the North West sector from 8% in Drumchapel/Anniesland MME ward to 32% in Anderston/City MME ward.

Housing

3.4 As of the 1st April 2014, the total housing stock in North West Sector was estimated as 105,638.

3.5 Based on the 1st April 2014 estimate, Table 3 illustrates that nearly two thirds (65.5%) of the housing stock in the North West is either owner occupied (41.7%) or private rented (23.7%).

3.6 As illustrated by the map, areas near Glasgow city centre experienced significant increases in the number of private rented houses during 2001 – 2011. Across Glasgow, the last 25 years has send a consistent trend with the number and percentage of private rented stock in Glasgow increasing annually, with a significant increase in the last few years (1991, fewer than 15,000 private rented stock; 2011 – 47,395 16.0%; 2014 - 60,465 20.4%).

3.7 The largest increase in the private rented property sector in Glasgow has been in the North West sector. Since 2011, it is estimated that there has been an increase of more than five thousand private rented properties in the North West. This increase has resulted in the percentage of private rented housing stock in the North West increasing since 2011 from 18.6% to 23.7%.Unlike in the rest of the city, the increase in private rented stock in the North West has not been mirrored by a reduction in the social rented stock. Since 2011, the number of

social rented stock has increased by nearly 200 with the number of owner occupied stock reducing by over four thousand.

Household Composition:

3.8 Based on 2011 Census, Table 4 illustrates that 19.5% (n 19,874) of households in the North West have children residing in them of which 40% (n 7,948; 7.8% of all households) were single parent households. The level of households with children and single parent households in the North West is lower than the level in the rest of Glasgow, 25% and 10.1% respectively.

3.9 Table 5 illustrates that nearly 80% of the housing stock in the North West is a flat type dwelling. This level of flat dwellings is more than ten percentage points higher than the percentage of flats among dwellings in the rest of Glasgow. Anderston/City MME ward has the highest percentage (98.2%) of flat dwellings among Glasgow’s 21 MME wards;

3.10 Table 6 illustrates that: nearly 4 in 10 dwellings in the North West are rated in Council Tax Band D and above whereas in the rest of Glasgow, less than a quarter of dwellings are rated Band D or above. In the rest of Glasgow, there are more properties that are Council Tax rated in Band A than in Band D and above.

Poverty/Deprivation

3.11 Based on the 2012 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD), 83 of the 229 datazone areas within the North West have been ranked within the worst 15% of datazones in Scotland. Using 2010 population estimates, 66,903 (32.7%) people in the North West reside in a datazone area ranked among the worst 15% datazone areas in Scotland. More than half (46) of the worst 15% datazones in the North West are actually ranked in the worst 5% datazones in Scotland, which equates to 17.1% of the North West’s population residing in a worst 5% datazone area.

At the other end of the scale, 10 North West datazones are ranked in the best 5% datazone areas in Scotland with a further 38 datazones being ranked in the 5-25% best datazones in Scotland. This equates to 4.9% and 21.8% of the North West population residing in a best 5% and 25% Scottish datazone area, respectively.

3.12 Overall, the North West 2012 SIMD position has improved since 2009 as 63,445 people reside in a datazone area that have improved since 2009 in terms of its 5% SIMD bandings as against 31,667 people that reside in a datazone area that have worsening in terms of its 5% SIMD bandings. It should be noted that the SIMD is a relative measure that ranks Scottish datazones based on a number of domains (e.g. income; health; employment). Any improvement/worsening of the ranking is relative to the other datazones and is not a definitive statement that an area has improved/worsened (e.g. the income of people in a datazone may increase but not as greatly as in another areas so its income domain ranking would worsen).

3.13 Table 7 summarises information from the 2004 - 2012 SIMD findings for the 16 North West housing neighbourhoods relating to Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) priorities. The table illustrates that there is significant variation in the ranking position of the North West housing neighbourhoods within Glasgow’s 56 Housing Neighbourhoods.

Two North West neighbourhoods are ranked in the worst five Glasgow neighbourhoods across a range of indicators and ranked second and third in terms of the SIMD Income Domain. However, half the North West neighbourhoods are ranked in the top third of the Glasgow neighbourhoods in the SIMD Income Domain and are consistently ranked high across a range of indicators relative to other Glasgow neighbourhoods.

4. Labour Market/Employment/Education Information

Economic Activity/Labour Market

4.1 Most labour market/economic activity information is not available below a Local Authority/Parliamentary Constituency level as the data is from national surveys (e.g. Annual Population Survey). Thus, the following information is based on 2011 Census data.

Economic Activity Table 8: % of 16-64 by economic activity Economically Self Active Employees Employed Unemployed % % % % North West 68.3 53.9 6.1 8.2 Rest of Glasgow 71.2 56.7 5.8 8.7 Glasgow City 70.1 55.7 5.9 8.5 Note: Economically Active is classified as people in employment; unemployed. Economically Inactive includes Retired; long term sick; student and other categories.

4.2 According to the 2011 Census, Table 8 shows that the North West Sector had a lower percentage (68%) of its working age residents that were economically active than in the rest of Glasgow (71%) and Glasgow (70%). This is primarily due to the relatively high percentage (13.5%) of North West residents who are students, classified as economically inactive, being more than twice as high as in the rest of Glasgow (5.9%). Thus, the lower level of economic activity in the North West is not an indicator of a higher level of unemployment.

Economically Inactive includes Retired; long term sick; student and other categories. b) Unemployment Rate is the percentage of the Economically Active Population that is unemployed.

4.3 According to the 2011 Census, Table 9 illustrates that

 The North West unemployment rate (see note b above) was 12%, which was slightly below the level in the rest of Glasgow (12.2%) and Glasgow (12.1%). These levels will have reduced since the Census in 2011 as the number of unemployed has reduced since 2011;

 the variations within the North West sector in terms of the levels of economic activity and, more significantly, in the unemployment rate. The level of

economic activity among working age residents varied from 60% in Anderston/City to 75% in Partick West MMEs. The unemployment rate varied from 8.3% of economically active residents in Partick West to 14.5% in Drumchapel/Anniesland.

Note: The percentage is of the 16-74 age group to reflect the employment position of people recently retired

4.4 Based on resident’s self-assessment within the 2011 Census, Table 10 illustrates the employment status of North West residents relative to residents in the Rest of Glasgow and Glasgow and shows that:

 the North West had o a higher percentage (28.5%) of its residents that assessed their employment status as either “Higher managerial/professional” or “Lower managerial/ professional” than in the rest of the city; o more than twice the percentage of residents assessed as “full time students” than in the rest of Glasgow.

 excluding the full time students, more than a third (36%) of the residents in the North West assessed their employment status as either “Higher managerial/professional” or “Lower managerial/ professional”. The comparative level for Glasgow City is 29%.

Benefit Claimants (Out of Work)

4.5 Given that some data is not regularly available below a Local Authority/Parliamentary Constituency level, the focus in assessing the current economic position within a locality is, increasingly, based on the level of out of work benefit claimants within a locality.

Table 11: Number & Rate of Key Out of Work Benefit Claimants May 2008 May 2011 May 2014 No. Rate No. Rate No. Rate North West 26,230 18.5 27,715 18.3 24,230 16.0 Rest of Glasgow 56,720 21.5 59,655 22.6 52,360 19.7 Glasgow City 82,950 21.0 87,370 21.1 76,590 18.4 Source: NOMIS – ONS Crown Copyright Reserved. The key out-of-work benefits consist of the following groups: job seekers, ESA and incapacity benefits, lone parents and others on income related benefits. Thus, it does not include

benefits for working age people that are classified by DWP under carer; disabled or bereaved. Rate is the proportion of resident population aged 16-64 (16-60/64 in 2008) based on mid-year population estimates. 4.6 Table 11 illustrates that the North West, pre and post-recession, has a lower level of key out of work benefit claimants than the level for the rest of Glasgow. The level of out of work benefit claimants is not uniform across the North West with the level varying from 8.7% in Hillhead to 24.1% in Canal MME ward. The key out of work benefit levels in three North West MME wards are more than double the key out of work benefit levels in three other MME wards.

4.7 More than two thirds (n 16,270; 67%) of the key out of work benefit claimants in the North West are receiving Employment Support Assistance (ESA)/Incapacity Benefit (IB). This equates to more than 1 in every 10 (10.8%) of working age residents in the North West is receiving this benefit. This is less than the average level for Glasgow (12.1%). Within ESA/IB claimants, 40% (n6,495) have been receiving ESA/IB for in excess of 2 years of which 11% (n1,790) have been receiving ESA/IB for in excess of 5 years.

Job Seekers Allowance (JSA)

4.8 JSA is the benefit that is most closely linked to determining the number of people that are unemployed and seeking to work. JSA trends are indicative of and reflective of changes in the labour market.

Chart 1: % of Working Age (16-64) JSA Claimants:

Source: NOMIS – ONS Crown Copyright Reserved. Rate is the proportion of resident population aged 16-64 (based on 2011 Census and 2013 mid-year estimates)

Chart 1 illustrates that

 pre and post-recession, the North West JSA claimant rate has been lower than the Glasgow rate and higher than the Scottish rate;

 the current (February 2015) number of JSA claimants in the North West is 2.3% lower than it was in August 2008 (accepted as the month that the recession started to impact) and 39% lower than at the zenith of the recession (August 2011). The current number of JSA claimants in the rest of

Glasgow and Scotland is actually higher by 1.4% and 5.1%, respectively, than it was in August 2008.

Within the North West, the current JSA working age claimant rate across the North West varies from 2.3% in Partick West and Hillhead MME wards to 4.5% in Drumchapel/Anniesland MME ward.

Young (18-24) Job Seeker Allowance Claimants

4.9 The number and rate of young JSA claimants is an important indicator of progress against the Glasgow Youth Employment SOA priority.

Table 12: Rate & percentage of young (18-24) JSA claimants August 2008 August 2011 February 2015 No. Rate No. Rate No. Rate North West 1,580 4.3% 2,350 6.4% 990 2.7% Rest of Glasgow 3,210 7.9% 4,935 12.2% 2,275 5.6% Glasgow City 4,790 6.2% 7,285 9.4% 3,265 4.2% Source: NOMIS – ONS Crown Copyright Reserved. Rate is the proportion of resident population aged 18-24 (based on mid-year & Census population estimates).

Table 12 illustrates that:

 that the North West, pre and post-recession, has a lower level of young (under 25s) JSA claimants than in the rest of Glasgow. Currently, the young JSA claimant rate in the North West is 46% lower than the level in the rest of Glasgow;

 there has a 37% reduction in the number and rate of young JSA claimants within the North West compared to the level pre-recession (August 2008). It should also be noted that young JSA claimants in the North West now make up a fifth (19.3%) of all JSA claimants. In August 2008, young JSA claimants in the North West made up 30% of the overall JSA claimants in the sector.

The current JSA working age claimant rate varies significantly across the North West, with the levels in Garscadden/Scotstounhill (6.6%) and Drumchapel/Anniesland (6.3%) being more than 10 times higher than it is Anniesland (0.6%). It should also be noted that very few 16 and 17 year olds (currently 30 across Glasgow) are entitled to claim JSA so the actual number of 16-24 year olds, that are not in employment, education and training is higher than the number of JSA claimants.

Education

Attainment

4.10 Table 13 provides details on the percentage of S4-S6 pupils achieving levels of educational achievement during 2011-13. The information provides an improving position in Glasgow as:

 in 2013, the overall attainment levels in Glasgow schools had improved in all nine categories compared to 2011 and in eight of the nine categories compared to 2012;

 the increase in attainment levels for S5 and S6 pupils in all categories was higher than the national increase;

The attainment position for S4-S6 pupils attending schools in the North West is mixed as:

 in the majority of the categories, less than half of the eight North West schools achieved an attainment level that was above the Glasgow level;

 in three North West schools, a higher percentage of pupils achieved above the Glasgow attainment average in all nine categories. The three schools are all located in the more affluent part of the North West. A higher percentage of pupils in two of the three schools achieved above the National attainment average in all nine categories;

 conversely, in four North West schools, the percentage of pupils was lower than the Glasgow attainment average in at least six of the nine categories. One school achieved less than the Glasgow attainment average in all nine categories.

4.11 Table 14a provides details relating to the destination of 2012/13 North West school leavers based on home address and Table 14b provides details relating to the nine month follow up destination of 2012/13 school leavers based on home address.

Tables 14a-b illustrate that

 there was a significant variation in the number of school leavers resident in the seven North West APs, ranging from 74 to 291. The number of school leavers does not correlate to the location of secondary schools;

 89% (1,281) of the 2012/13 North West school leavers left school with an initial positive destination. This was an improvement on the level (87.3%) for North West 2011/12 school leavers but was slightly below the overall 2012/13 Glasgow level (89.6%);

 in six of the seven North West AP areas, more 2012/13 school leavers had employment as a destination than unemployment;

 the level of initial positive destinations within the North West varied from 82.4% (Garscadden/Scotstounhill) to 93.8% (Hillhead). The Garscadden/Scotstounhill level was the lowest among the 21 MME wards in Glasgow. The level of variation within the North West becomes even more significant when analysis of the individual positive destinations is undertaken as follows:

o A 2012/13 school leaver residing in the Partick West MME ward was more than twice as likely to be going to Higher Education than a school leaver from the Canal MME ward; o for every hundred school leavers in a North West MME ward, at least twenty more school leavers from Partick West and Hillhead MME wards were going to Higher or Further Education than were going from the Drumchapel/ Anniesland or Canal MME wards; o if you excluded “Training” as a positive destination, there is a clear difference in the percentage of school leavers from Partick West (87.9%)

and Hillhead (86.6%) MME wards going to a positive destination than in the other five North West MME wards (73.2% - 77.2%).

 The level of positive destinations drops to by 4.6 percentage points to 84.4% at the nine month follow up with the North West experiencing a greater reduction in the nine months than in the rest of Glasgow;

 at the follow up stage, there was a drop in the level of positive destinations across all North West MME Wards with the North West level of positive destinations varying from 80.3% (Garscadden/Scotstounhill) to 90.6% (Hillhead). Langside and Springburn were the only Glasgow MME Wards where more 2012/13 school leavers were in a positive destination at the follow up stage than at the initial stage;

 at the follow up stage, school leavers from Hillhead and Partick are at least 5 percentage points more likely to be in a positive destination than school leavers from any other North West MME wards. It should be noted that the four North West MME wards that had the highest percentage of the initial positive destination being “Training” were the four MME wards that experienced the greatest drop off in positive destinations in the nine months between the initial and follow up stage.

1 Higher Education: This category includes all leavers who have entered University to study at degree level, or an FE/HE college to study at HNC/HND level. Leavers with a deferred, unconditional place in higher education have also been included in this category. Further Education: This category includes all leavers who are studying at a non-advanced level and are not on a school roll e.g. National Qualifications, Access courses, portfolio preparation, pre-vocational courses or Highers or A Levels. Training: This category includes leavers who are on a training course and in receipt of an allowance. This includes those participating in the SDS funded Employability programmes. It also includes those participating in placements through the community jobs fund. In addition, leavers who are in receipt of an allowance and the programme they are participating in, is not funded by SDS e.g. vocational programmes funded by local authorities or third sector organisations. Employment: This category includes leavers who are employed and are in receipt of payment from their employers. It includes those undertaking formal training whilst in employment funded through modern apprenticeships. It also includes those who are Self Employed and those working on a part-time basis (less than 16 hours) who regard this employment as their main destination, irrespective of the hours worked. Other Positive includes leavers who are undertaking voluntary work and leavers who have signed up to an Activity Agreement.

4.12 Table 15 provides the initial destination returns for 2013/14 school leavers based on school rather than home address and illustrates that

 the percentage of school leavers in Glasgow entering a positive destination is 89.7%, a rise of 0.5 percentage points in comparison to 2012/13. This is 2.6pp below the national average of 92.3%;

 the percentage of school leavers in North West Glasgow entering a positive destination is 90.3%, which is higher than the rest of Glasgow and is a rise of 1.3 percentage points in comparison to 2012/13;

 five out of the eight North West secondary schools had a level of positive outcome destinations above the Glasgow average level. Three North West secondary schools achieved a positive outcome destination level above the Scottish average;

 five North West secondary schools increased the percentage of school leavers with a position destination compared to 2012/13 with Knightswood Secondary improving by 7.1 percentage points;

 the level of initial positive destinations within the North West varied from 78.4% (Drumchapel High School - 2nd lowest level among the 30 secondary schools in Glasgow) to 94.9% (Hillhead Hill School – 4th highest level in Glasgow). The variation is even more marked when looking at individual destination categories e.g. more than half the school leavers from Hyndland Secondary School went onto Higher Education compared to less than one in twelve school leavers from Drumchapel High.

5. Health Information

5.1 The health information in this section is mainly provided by 2010 Health & Wellbeing profiles for the North West Community Health Partnership area and profiles for the 46 intermediate datazone (IZ) areas within the North West Sector. It should be noted that the names given to some of the IZs may not reflect local understanding of the geographical area. Also, the 2014 Health & Wellbeing Profiles are only currently available at Local Authority/Health Board level with the intermediate datazone 2014 Health & Wellbeing profiles expected in May 2015.

 four indicators scored significantly better than national average, as illustrated in Table 17;

 three indicators for which no significance can be calculated (2) or statistically not significantly different from national average (1);

 two indicators that have a statistically significant difference compared to national average but the indicators are such that categorization as better or worse than comparator average is not appropriate.

Throughout the health profile analysis, it is evident that significant health inequalities exist within the North West sector. These inequalities mirror the sector’s socio-economic profile as higher rate of illness/negative health behaviours and, consequently, lower life expectancy exist in areas of higher deprivation.

Life Expectancy

5.3 Male and female life expectancy (71.0 and 77.2 years respectively) in North West Glasgow is significantly lower than the Scottish average (74.5 and 79.5 years respectively), although it has been rising steadily over time. Mortality rates from a range of illnesses inc. coronary heart disease (under-75s), cerebrovascular disease (under-75s) and cancer (under-75s) are all significantly higher (worse) than the Scottish average.

5.4 In terms of life expectancy, Table 18 provides the five lowest and highest life expectancies for the 46 intermediate zone (IZs) areas in the North West and illustrates that:

 the North West Sector has relatively low life expectancy, with the majority of IZ areas having levels below the Scottish average life expectancy level for both males and females;

 there are significant variations for both genders within the North West sector with a 16 and 12 year variations in life expectancy for males and females respectively; and

 people living in the more affluent parts of the North West sector have generally a significantly longer life expectancy that those living in the less affluent areas of the North West.

IZ areas in the table are the IZ areas with the five lowest and highest rates of hospitalisation.

5.5 Alcohol: There were 670 deaths from alcohol conditions in the North West in the last five years for which data is publically available. This number of deaths meant that the annual alcohol condition mortality rate in North West Glasgow was 73.9 per 100,000 population. This level was significantly (59%) higher than the Scottish average rate of 46.4 per 100,000 population.

Similarly, the rate (1,126 per 100,000) of patients hospitalised with alcohol conditions was higher in North West Glasgow than the Scottish average (1,087 per 100,000) but only by 3.6%. Table 19 shows that

 the majority (27/46) of North West IZs had an alcohol hospitalisation rate above the Scottish average. Four IZ’s alcohol hospitalisation rates were more than double the Scottish average; and

 a significant variation in alcohol hospitalisation rates existed across the North West. The four highest alcohol hospitalisation rates in the North West were more than four times higher than the four lowest rates in the North West.

5.6 Drugs: the rate (88.9 per 100,000) of patients hospitalised with drug related conditions was higher in North West Glasgow than the Scottish average (85.1 per 100,000) by 4.5%. Table 19 shows that

 the North West drug related hospitalisation rate is less than a twelfth of the North West alcohol hospitalisation rate, which indicates that, in prevalence terms, tackling alcohol misuse is a greater priority;

 the majority (26/46) of North West IZs had a drug related hospitalisation rate below the Scottish average. The five IZ’s with the lowest drug related hospitalisation rate had a rate that was at least seven times lower than the Scottish average; and

 there was even more significant variation across the North West in drug related hospitalisation rates than for alcohol hospitalisation rates. The drug

related hospitalisation rate in Possilpark was at least ten times higher than the rate in more than a quarter of North West IZs. Within the North West, eight of the ten highest drug related hospitalisation rates were in the adjoining Maryhill Kelvin & Canal MME wards.

5.7 Smoking: Smoking prevalence information is only available down to local authority level. The 2014 profile for Glasgow City indicates that the smoking prevalence rate has dropped from 32% in 2007 to 27.9% in 2013. This level is still higher than the Scottish average by 23% but the gap is reducing.

5.8 Tables 20(a) and 20(b) provide three Mental Health indicators for the North West IZ areas. The key findings are that:

 The North West sector has an above Scottish average level for all three of the mental health indicators; and

 In addition to the high levels for the North West Sector, the majority of IZ within the North West are above the North West average. This is due to the variations that exist within the North West which in general can be linked to the levels of deprivation.

Ill Health & Injury

5.9 In terms of long term ill health, the following indicators were all significantly worse in North West Glasgow than the Scotland average:

 cancer registrations – 17% higher than the Scottish average;  diabetes prevalence – 11% higher;and  hospitalised for o chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – 66% higher. 37 of the 46 North West IZs have a level higher than Scottish average; o cerebrovascular disease – 29% higher; o coronary heart disease – 7% higher.

Similarly, table 21 illustrates that for emergency and multiple admissions for older people,

 the North West sector had a higher rate of hospital admissions than is the average for Scotland; and  significant variations exist in the rates within the North West Sector with the lowest and below Scottish average rates being generally in the more affluent areas.

On a positive note, the rates of hospitalisations for asthma; people (65+) that are hospitalised after a fall in the home and road traffic accident casualty rate are significantly lower than the Scottish average.

Women's & Children's Health:

5.10 The percentage of babies exclusively breastfed at 6-8 weeks was significantly higher than the Scottish average but the North West performed significantly worse than the Scottish average for other Women’s & Children’s Health indicators, as follows:  Breast Screening Uptake;  mother smoking during pregnancy;  teenage pregnancies;

 low weight live births;  immunisation uptake at 24 months;  child dental health in primary 1; and  patients (under 15) hospitalised by unintentional injuries at home.

6. Neighbourhood Management

6.1 Neighbourhood Management is a central remit of the Area Partnership CPP structures. Each Area Partnership is required to develop a Neighbourhood Management Action Plan, based mostly around local “crime and grime” issues.

6.2 The 2011 Neighbourhood Management Survey included a question “what one thing would you change about your neighbourhood that would help improve your quality of life”. The most frequent response by North West residents was “None” with 20% of all North West survey respondents stated “None”. The following three options were chosen most frequently by the over 1,200 North West Sector residents who chose an option:

 More Police on the Streets (24%);  More Employment for All (19%); and  Clean Streets (14%)

The relatively high response for “More Police on the Streets” and Clean Streets” illustrates the importance of “crime and grime” to residents in the North West.

6.3 In the 2011 Neighbourhood Management survey, the main community safety issues identified by North West residents as a problem locally were:

 Drunk/Rowdy Behaviour (22.4% - range from 2% in Partick West to 31% Canal);  Street Drinking (21.8% - range from 2% in Partick West to 32% Canal); and  Disruptive Children/Teenagers (19.3% - range from 2% in Partick West to 33% Drumchapel/Anniesland).

It should be noted that the vast majority (85%: ranging from 80% Drumchapel/Anniesland to 95% Partick West) of the surveyed North West residents had not personally experienced in the previous year any of the twelve community safety issues that they were asked about.

6.4 The following sections provide more recent information on Neighbourhood Management related issues.

Community Safety

Community Safety Index 6.5 The information in this section is based on the Community Safety Index (CSI) which comprises key data from Police Scotland, Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS and Scottish Fire Service. Based on the data, it provides an overall CSI ranking across the 694 SIMD datazones in Glasgow.

Table 22 illustrates that:

 13 North West datazones are ranked in the highest 5% (35) datazone areas in terms of Glasgow Community Safety priority areas. The majority of the North West Community Safety priority areas are in MME wards 15 and 16. 5% (c. 10,000) of North West’s population live in these 13 datazone areas; and

 Excluding the datazone area (S01003410) that is a “night time economy”, area, there is a clear link between the Community Safety priority areas and deprivation. 11 out of the 12 North West Community Safety priority areas are ranked as being among the worst 5% Scottish SIMD datazones with the other datazone ranked in the worst 5-10% of Scottish datazones.

Accidental & Deliberate Fires

6.6 Table 23 illustrates that:

 The number of fires in the North West reduced by 359 (18%) between 2011/12 and 2012/13. During the same period, the number of fires reduced by 301 (10%) in the rest of Glasgow. The percentage of fires in Glasgow that occured in the North West reduced from 39.1% in 2011/12 to 36.8% in 2012/13;

 the number of fires in the North West in 2012/13 ranged from 129 in Garscadden/Scotstounhill to 386 in Anderston/City MME ward. The number of fires in Anderston/City MME ward was the highest among the 21 MME wards in Glasgow; and

 the rate of accidental dwelling fires in 2012/13 was higher in comparison with the rest of Glasgow and Scotland but the rate of deliberate fires was lower than in the rest of Glasgow.

Cleanliness and the Environment

6.7 When asked in the 2011 Neighbourhood Management Survey, 2,246 North West residents identified the following cleansing and environmental issues as the main environmental problems in their local area:

 Litter in the Street (41% identified as a problem)  Pets/Animals Roaming/Dog Fouling (39%)  Fly tipping & Dumping (14%)  Untidy Gardens (20%)  Untidy Communal Areas (19%)

6.8 Sections 6.9 – 6.13 provide more recent information on cleaning/ environmental related issues and actions taken to tackle the issues.

6.10 Table 25 provides details on the activity between July – September 2014 to tackle issues relating to cleansing issues and highlights the following:

 91% of Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) issued in the North West during the three months were issued in the Anderston/City MME ward area. 18 times more FPNs were issued in that ward compared to the next highest (Partick West) which had 5% of the FPNs issued in the three months;

 95% of the FPNs issued in the North West were for litter related behaviour. Only 1 FPN was issued in the three months for Fly Tipping when over 50% of the reports during the six months (April – September 2014) was fly tipping related; and

 Nearly half 48% of the “own observation” graffiti dealt with in the North West during the three months was in Anderston/City MME ward area.

Pollution

NO2 means nitrogen dioxide. NO2 concentrations are expressed in units of microgrammes per cubic metre. The statistic reported is a population weighted average mean concentration (averaged over the three years 2002-2004) in microgrammes per cubic metre. Background locations are defined as locations away from the immediate vicinity of a major road. Annual mean nitrogen dioxide concentrations can be compared with the Air Quality Strategy Objective and EU Limit Value of 40 microgrammes per cubic metre. PM10 is particles in the ambient air which are smaller than 10 micrometres across. PM10 is among the most harmful of all air pollutants. When inhaled these particles evade the respiratory system's natural defences and lodge deep in the lungs. PM10 concentrations are expressed in units of microgrammes per cubic metre (gravimetric). Annual mean PM10 concentrations can be compared with the Air Quality Strategy Objective and EU Limit Value of 40 microgrammes per cubic metre which have a target date of 2005 and the revised air quality strategy objective of 18 microgrammes per cubic metre in Scotland with a target date of 2010. 6.11 Table 26 provides the most recent publically available ambient air quality information available at MME ward level and indicates that during 2002 - 04:

 Three North West MME wards had a NO2 concentration above the Glasgow level and two MME wards had a PM10 concentration above the Glasgow level; and

 Anderston/City had the highest concentration of NO2 and PM10 among the 21 MME wards in Glasgow. The pollution levels in Anderston/City MME ward were above the objective levels of 40 microgrammes per cubic metre for NO2 concentration and 18 microgrammes per cubic metre for PM10 concentration (See note below table 26).

6.12 Charts 2-3 provide more recent information, than the information provided above, based on specific locations within Glasgow. The charts illustrate that:

 The annual mean concentration of NO2 and PM10 in the air in Glasgow in 2012 was lower than the annual mean air quality objectives of 40ug/ m3 and 18μg/m3 respectively, across all monitoring sites, with the exception of Glasgow Kerbside (the pavement of Hope Street adjacent to Glasgow Central Station).

 The concentration levels for both NO2 and PM10 in the air at the Anderston monitoring site were lower than the PM10 quality objective throughout the five years.
