A Profile of the Health & Well-Being of Glasgow
A Profile of the Health & Well-being of Glasgow Glasgow’s Healthier Future Forum 30th November 2005 Preface This document has been created as an accompaniment to a presentation at the 2nd Glasgow’s Healthier Future Forum (organised by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health (GCPH)) on November 30th, 2005. The data will be presented by David Walsh and Bruce Whyte of NHS Health Scotland as part of an ongoing collaboration with GCPH. The presentation - and accompanying report - incorporates a small subset of a much broader collection of data which will be published in early 2006 as part of a descriptive report on the health and well-being of Glasgow and the West of Scotland. The data included within these pages, therefore, are not intended to be - and indeed could not be - comprehensive. They are merely illustrative examples of Glasgow’s health. The theme of the presentation is an analysis of those health and well-being related factors in Glasgow which are improving, those which are worsening, and those which are proving resistant to change. Within that theme, the data are presented within the following ten topics relevant to health: the historical context, population dynamics, the economy, the social environment, the physical environment, behaviour, pregnancy & childbirth, children’s health, health & function, and illness & disease. An additional handful of charts showing projections for a few key health related indicators are also included. Note: a number of the charts presented here are derived from analysis of the 2004 Community Health & Well-being Profiles produced by NHS Health Scotland. In these cases the data are presented at two geographical levels: ‘community’ (primary care-based localities with populations ranging from 20,000-140,000 people) and postcode sector (small areas with populations of around 3,000-5,000 on average). -
Glasgow Effect
Excess mortality in the Glasgow conurbation: exploring the existence of a Glasgow effect James Martin Reid MSci Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD University of Glasgow Faculty of Medicine, Section of Public Health and Health Policy September 2008 ii Abstract Introduction There exists a ‘Scottish effect’, a residue of excess mortality that remains for Scotland relative to England and Wales after standardising for age, sex and local area deprivation status. This residue is largest for the most deprived segments of the Scottish population. Most Scottish areas that can be classified as deprived are located in West Central Scotland and, in particular, the City of Glasgow. Therefore the central aim of this thesis is to establish the existence of a similar ‘Glasgow effect’ and identify if the relationship between deprivation and all cause mortality is different in Glasgow to what is in other, comparable cities in the UK. Methods A method to compare the deprivation status of several UK cities was devised using the deprivation score first calculated by Carstairs and Morris. The population of mainland UK was broken into deciles according to the Carstairs score of Scottish postcode sectors and English wards. Deprivation profiles for particular cities were drawn according to the percentage of the local population that lived in each Carstairs decile. Using data from the three censuses since 1981, longitudinal trends in relative deprivation status for each city could be observed. Analysis of death rates in cities was also undertaken. Two methods were used to compare death rates in cities. Indirect standardisation was used to compare death rates adjusting for the categorical variables of age group, sex and Carstairs decile of postcode sector or ward of residence. -

Inspector's Report: Stoke Lodge Playing Field
Original Names Redacted for Publication Purposes APPLICATION BY MR DAVID MAYER TO REGISTER LAND KNOWN AS STOKE LODGE PLAYING FIELD, SHIREHAMPTON ROAD, BRISTOL, AS A NEW TOWN OR VILLAGE GREEN REPORT Preliminary 1. Bristol City Council is the statutory body charged by statute with maintaining the register of village greens. It has asked me to advise it whether land within its area known as Stoke Lodge Playing Field should be registered as a town or village green. I am a barrister in private practice with expertise in the law of town and village greens. In this capacity, I have often advised registration authorities and have often acted on their behalf as an Inspector, holding a public inquiry into an application before reporting and making a recommendation. I have also often advised and acted for applicants who have sought to register land as a town or village green; and for objectors, who have argued that land should not be registered as a town or village green. Procedural history 2. On 7 March 2011, David Mayer on behalf of Save Stoke Lodge Parkland made an application to register land at Stoke Lodge Playing Field/Parkland, Shirehampton Road, Bristol (“the application site”) as a town or village green. Objections to the application were received from Bristol City Council in its capacity as landowner (the First Objector), the University of Bristol (the Second Objector), Rockleaze Rangers Football Club (the Third Objector) and Cotham School (the Fourth Objector). Mr Mayer responded to those objections and subsequently there were further exchanges of representations. In its capacity as registration authority the City Council initially considered that it would be necessary for there to be a non-statutory public inquiry and, on this basis, invited me to hold such an inquiry1. -

Conclusions and recommendations 27 Appendix 1: Site details 28 2 Summary This LAA provides an assessment of the demand for and supply of aggregates in the Tees Valley, other relevant local information, and an assessment of all supply options. It has been prepared jointly by the five tees Valley authorities of Darlington Borough Council, Hartlepool Borough Council, Middlesbrough Council, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council. Key Statistics Crushed Rock Sales in 2014 = 33,000 tonnes Ten year sales average (2005-2014) = 49,300 tonnes per year Three year sales average (2012 -2014) = 33,600 tonnes per year Permitted reserves at 31 December 2014 = 2,121,000 tonnes Sub-regional apportionment = 187,500 tonnes Landbank at 31 December 2014 = 11.3 years Proposed annual provision = 187,500 Demand forecast (2015-2030) = 3,000,000 tonnes Balance between supply and demand (2015-2030) = 874,000 Conclusions on supply – There is currently only one crushed rock supplier within the Tees Valley (Hart Quarry, Hartlepool). Permitted reserves currently give an estimated landbank of 11.3 years, based on the sub-regional apportionment. -
