  • Passenger Focus Reponse to Section 17 Transpennine Express Application
    Thank you for sending Passenger Focus details of First/Keolis Transpennine Limited’s draft application for a new Track Access Contract to cover the period December 2013 to December 2016. Industry Background and Processes 1. We note that it is driven by the extension to TPE’s Franchise Agreement, which has three DfT priorities: to provide an enhanced level of services between Manchester and Scotland, utilising the route via Golborne Junction and Wigan scheduled to be electrified by autumn 2013; to support the delivery of additional capacity for some of the key Northern cities: Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle; to reduce the subsidy paid to Franchise Operators. 2. The application proposes that the Track Access Contract will be in place for a further three years - until the Passenger Change Date 2016, which will allow TPE, on the priority date in March 2015, if necessary, to exercise rights for the 2016 timetable (beginning in December 2015), which will provide certainty to a new franchisee. 3. The ORR wrote to the industry on 23 September 2011 setting out restrictions on its consideration of applications for Track Access Contracts beyond December 2013. Network Rail indicated to TPE that it would not be prepared to accept a submission under Section 22 of the Railways Act; consequently TPE has had recourse to the provisions of Section 17. 4. In drafting the contract TPE has sought to adhere to ORR’s policy as set down in the letter of 23 September 2011; the application is restricted to rights for a quantum of train services supported by calling patterns.

  • 'After Housing Costs' Child Poverty Rate from Highest to Lowest
    Notes: This spreadsheet ranks wards in Greater Manchester by their 'after housing costs' child poverty rate from highest to lowest. This is done using data published by End Child Poverty in 2019. The data also ranks areas based on the proportion of the population in a ward classified as black and minority ethnic (BAME) in census data. The higher the proportion of people who are BAME in a ward the higher the rank. This data shows that areas with the highest BAME populations in Greater Manchester are often the areas with the highest rates of child poverty.

  • Wigan Borough
    Wigan Borough Public Health Training Prospectus 2019 Introduction Wigan Borough is located on the western edge of Greater Manchester and covers an area of approximately 77 square miles. While Wigan is the largest town in the Borough, Leigh is of similar size. There are further smaller towns and villages. Wigan Borough has a history of mining and manufacturing, and many of the towns started off as settlements to service these functions. Despite this heritage Wigan Borough has a sizable amount of green space. A map of the Borough is shown in Figure 1. Standish Shevington Aspull Wigan Orrell Pemberton Hindley Atherton Billinge Platt Bridge Yyldesley Astley Bryn Leigh Ashton-in- Makerfield Golborne Lowton Figure 1. Main population centres within Wigan Borough Population Wigan Borough has the second highest population of the ten Boroughs in Greater Manchester. Its population is 324,650 (Mid-2017 ONS Population Estimates, revised in March 2018). Figure 2 shows the distribution of the population by age group and sex. Figures 3 and 4 show the same but as projected for 2022 and 2027 respectively (2016-based ONS Population Projections). There has been a steady increase in the number of people aged 65+ within Wigan Borough as a result of increasing life expectancy (see Appendix, Figure A1). The proportion of people aged 65+ in 2017 was 18.8%. This is projected to rise to 20.9% by 2025, to 23.0% by 2030, and to 26.2% by 2040. However, predictive accuracy weakens the further one projects into the future. The trend in the number of people in Wigan Borough by sex for the 65+ age group is shown in Figure A2 in the Ap- pendix.
