Next steps 30 2 Community Conversations March - July 2018 Introduction This report brings together the initial analysis of the responses from the Middlesbrough Community Conversations, that were hosted between March - July 2018. Volunteers or staff members from 42 different voluntary and community organisations (VCOs) asked people in their communities to answer five questions: 1. What is life like in Middlesbrough for you and your family? 2. What could be done to improve life in Middlesbrough For you, your family and others around you 3. What could your role in that be? 4. What would help you to do this? 5. How would we know that things were improving for people in Middlesbrough? 3 Community Conversations March - July 2018 Who responded? In the period March to June, the 42 VCOs spoke to 1765 people, from across all the Middlesbrough postcode areas. From May to July, members of the public, Councillors and Middlesbrough Council employees were also invited to host conversations. This resulted in a further 110 responses. Note: We asked hosts to record only the name and postcode of each respondent (if the respondent felt comfortable to do so). Voluntary and Community Sector Hosts: Total Al-Hadiyah institute 35 Breckon Hill 38 Bridging the Significant Gap 30 Carers Together 10 Charwood Kinship Carers 73 Cleveland Wheelers 19 Community Ignite 50 Coulby Newham Baptist Church 54 Creative Minds 50 Ethio Teesside 69 FRADE 73 Hart Gables 11 Hemlington Linx 70 Investing in People and Culture 50 Inward Bound 50 John Paul Centre 50 Linthorpe Road Resource Centre 51 Mano River Union 50 Marton Community Centre 55 Men's Cave 50 MFC Foundation 50 Middlesbrough Community Church 31 Middlesbrough First 30 Middlesbrough Live at Home Scheme 11 National Federation of Occupational Pensioners 14 NEXUS 63 NUR Fitness 50 Pioneer Credit Union 38 Recovery Connections 53 Roseberry Consortium 10 Samosa Sisters 39 Straightforward 50 Support Team Children and Carers, helping all development society 52 Teesside Ability Support Centre (TASC) 19 Teesside Ugandan Community 10 The Other Perspective 53 TRAC 50 4 Community Conversations March - July 2018 Train them young 21 Trinity Youth and Children’s project 50 Wellness First 44 Woman Today 58 Youth Focus North East 31 Other: Council Employees Surveys 54 Rosedene Nurseries 36 Voices for Volunteers 20 Some hosts provided us with additional information, from that we know that within the 1875 people engaged, at least: • 575 were from the BAME community • 281 were children or young people • 88 were older people (50+) • 11 were from the LGBT community 5 Community Conversations March - July 2018 How did they respond? The tables below note the responses (and the number of times the same response was given). In cases where conversations were hosted in groups and the host did not record the individual responses, instead producing a summarised report, we have applied the following rationale: All/ every 100% Majority/most 75% Many 50% Some/ several 25% Few 10% So, for example, if a host was talking to a group of ten people and said, ‘Many of them felt Middlesbrough was a lonely place’ we have taken that to be five responses of the comment ‘Lonely’. To see how this information can support the social regeneration agenda to be most effective, we have attempted to align the responses against the priority areas: • Strengthening our local economy • Increasing employment levels • Increasing educational attainment • Improving health and wellbeing • Improving the physical environment • Improving community life We have also added ‘Crime and community safety’ following the overwhelming number of references within the responses to crime and the effect it has on peoples’ experience of Middlesbrough. Within each question section, we have also included some direct quotes from respondents, that help to build up a picture of how people feel about life in Middlesbrough. All of the responses (in their raw, mostly handwritten form) are available to reference, should you wish to read and record more direct quotes.

The city is increasingly becoming multi-cultural and facilities for new comers is better than it used to be. Lack of language and cultural understanding of how things are done has been mentioned by many respondents to be barriers to integration. People usually prefer to mingle with people of the same background or ethnicity and this has been an obstacle to learning more about the city and the opportunities it offers. Investing in people and Culture Young people reported that drug-dealing is common in many parts of the town (wards referenced; Gresham, Ayresome, University, Thorntree and Brambles Farm) and it makes the town not so safe to live in with the consequences of young people being groomed by drug dealers to both consume and/or deal. The Other Perspective We have slum landlords profiting off vulnerable families who have no other choice but to live in unsuitable or unsafe conditions due to public housing shortage.

Cllr Bernie Taylor Middlesbrough Council Town Hall Middlesbrough TS1 2QQ The Local Government Boundary Commission for England, Layden House 76-86 Turnmill Street London EC1M 5LG To the members and officers of the Commission, Having seen the Draft Recommendations for Middlesbrough which you have produced, I would like to thank you for the time and effort you no doubt spent on the plans. I would, however, like to draw your attention to a small row of houses whose residents I feel would be better served in the Newport Ward which you propose. I would also like to request that the name of the proposed Ayresome ward be changed to Acklam Green to reflect the local community and provide a clearer identity for the ward. There is a street of around fifteen properties whose residents would be better served if they were part of the proposed Newport ward. The houses run along the south side of Stockton Road – known colloquially as the ‘Wilderness Road.’ This road is cut off from the rest of the Aryesome ward by the A66 and isolated from the mane population centre of the proposed Aryesome ward by the Teesside Park Leisure complex. However, Stockton Road is easily accessed from the proposed Newport Road as the road travels under the A19 flyover.

    OPERATION BOX CLEVER CLEVELAND POLICE LANGBAURGH DISTRICT CONTACT OFFICER SGT 1248 Dave Lister Management Support Dawson House Ridley Street Redcar Cleveland TS101TT Tel. (01642) 302008 Fax. (01642) 302725 E-mail [email protected] TILLEY AWARD 2000, SUBMISSION SUMMARY PROJECTTITLE- OPERATION BOX CLEVER The Crime and Disorder Audit for the Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and Langbaurgh District Police identified the alarming fact that the district of Redcar and Cleveland had the highest levels of arson and hoax calls within the U.K. The two adjacent wards of South Bank and Grangetown were the worst affected, and could justifiably be recognised as "the arson capital of the U.K." The Fire Brigade provided evidence of the twenty-five worst performing enumeration districts across the Cleveland area, ten of these were in the South Bank and Grangetown area. Research by the Fire Brigade identified young hoax callers, if unchallenged, can encourage others to make calls. Some hoax callers will progress to fire play and ultimately fire setting. It was further identified that areas with significant social deprivation also had the highest levels of hoax calls and arson. The Fire Brigade had access to a `one to one education service for referred fire-setters, which had a proven success rate in breaking the offending cycle. Historically, the dispatching of Police resources has always been prioritised. Hoax calls made predominantly by children below the age of criminal responsibility were never afforded the necessary commitment or investigative process and very few were identified. The response to the problem would include arson and hoax calls as a priority within the Community Safety Strategy for the district.
