Marked-up Questionnaire Community Research in Wyre Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Introduction Research Aims This report presents the findings of research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England (referred to in this report as "The Committee") in the Wyre Borough Council area. The aim of this research is to establish the patterns of community identity in the area. Survey Coverage MORI has undertaken research in all 44 two-tier district or borough council areas in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber regions. The research covers two-tier local authority areas only; the results may however identify issues which overlap with adjacent areas. Reports and data for other two-tier areas are provided separately. Wyre Borough Council (Lancashire CC) Lancaster City Council (Lancashire CC) Ribble Valley BC Wyre BC Data is available from two-tier (Lancashire CC) authorities in these County (Lancashire CC) Council areas: Cheshire Durham Cumbria Blackpool Lancashire Northumberland BC Preston City North Yorkshire Council Key: (Lancashire CC) Fylde BC BC = Borough Council DC = District Council (Lancashire CC) CC = County Council Source: MORI Methodology Both quantitative and qualitative research has been carried out in the Wyre Borough Council area, as in each two-tier district council area in the North West region. Quantitative research seeks to answer the question of ‘what’ residents think, by measuring their attitudes on a range of pre-set questions in the context of an interview, rather than holding an in-depth discussion on the issues involved. It provides statistically robust data. 1 Community Research in Wyre Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Within each two-tier district or borough council area, some 300 quantitative face- to-face interviews were carried out in-home between 19th June and 31st August 2003. A total of 3,722 interviews took place across all two-tier authorities in the Lancashire County Council area, with 328 interviews being conducted in the Wyre Borough Council area. Quotas were set by age, gender and work status using 2001 Census data. Data have been weighted back to the known demographic profile of each district or borough council area by age and gender, and for aggregate county, regional and overall findings by the population size of each individual district or borough council area. Full computer tabulations have been provided separately. Qualitative research helps probe the thinking processes and feelings of residents, and attempts to answer the question as to ‘why?’ residents might feel the way they do. In the Wyre Borough Council area, a qualitative discussion group was held to establish how residents feel about their local community. The findings from this group were analysed within the context of the findings from discussion groups in the other 43 district or borough council areas under consideration by this study. Discussion groups do not seek to offer statistical validity from a representative sample, but seek to explore attitudes and opinions in greater depth than the quantitative research allows. It should also be borne in mind that, in order to get an overview of the in-depth feelings in each area as well as explore linkages across the region, only one discussion group was held in each district or borough council area. The findings from each group should therefore be viewed in the context of the other discussion groups which have taken place, as well as the quantitative findings. This is because the findings from participants from just one discussion group may be unrepresentative of general opinion, and misleading if viewed out of context. Report Structure This report provides an overview of the findings from the research for the Wyre Borough Council area. Individual summary reports for the research conducted within each of the other two-tier authorities in the North West region have been issued under separate cover. Publication of the Data As part of our standard terms and conditions, the publication of the data in this report is subject to the advance approval of MORI. This would only be refused on the grounds of inaccuracy or misinterpretation of the findings. 2 Community Research in Wyre Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Contact Details The research was carried out by MORI for COI Communications, acting on behalf of The Boundary Committee for England.

They show less identity with the administrative areas of the local two- tier councils. This is not an unusual finding, as people will generally identify with the immediate area where they have made their home, rather than a large geographical area. That said, it is worth noting that the proportion identifying with the Borough Council is lower than recorded in many other parts of Lancashire. Affinity with the County Council area is similar to levels observed in other districts. • The Wyre Borough Council area finds activity spread across a number of different places. The towns which residents most associate themselves with are Fleetwood and Poulton-le-Fylde (18% and 16% respectively). • "Effective Communities" are the sense of place created by visiting practical locations which cater for shopping or leisure needs, work place, or where parents take their children to school. Blackpool is a particularly key destination for those in higher social grades, with those in lower social grades more concentrated around visiting Fleetwood. However, it should be noted that those in social grades AB have a greater range of places that they visit. • "Affective Communities" describe the sense of place created by residents forming an emotional attachment to a community. Identity with the local neighbourhood is naturally stronger for those who take part in community activities. • Overall, four in five of Wyre Borough Council residents (78%) feel they belong to a local area or community within this council area. 4 Community Research in Wyre Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Interpreting the Findings • Neither the qualitative nor the quantitative research should be taken in isolation of the other, and nor should the findings of one district, borough, county or region be taken in isolation of the overall perspective provided by research in other areas. Just as residents themselves are at the centre of a number of different communities, so this research is at the centre of a wider body of research that provides context and a sense of place to the individual findings for each area. ©MORI/18710 Simon Atkinson Emma Holloway Jaime Rose Neil Wholey 5 Community Research in Wyre Borough Council Area 2003 for The Boundary Committee for England Local Communities Defining Communities Communities, in the context of this research, are a sense of place. The strength of this sense of place is related to the involvement residents have in their communities, whether with people in their own immediate neighbourhood, or with places further afield through, for example, shopping trips or work. For residents there are a number of different and overlapping communities: • Administrative Communities: the sense of place created by local council administrative boundaries. • Effective Communities: the sense of place created by visiting practical locations which cater for shopping or leisure needs, or are a place of work, or where parents take their children to school. • Affective Communities: the sense of place created by residents forming an emotional attachment to a community. This is defined as where residents feel they most belong, the town or area they most identify with, and if they met someone from outside their region, where they might say they came from. The aim of this study is to gain insight into the effective and affective communities of residents in the Wyre Borough Council area, and how these might relate to administrative boundaries. Identifying Communities Multifaceted communities require a multifaceted approach to identifying them. In both the qualitative and quantitative research, residents were asked to identify the communities in which they felt they belonged and, from the different perspectives of these methodologies, to obtain a rounded picture of these communities. Neither the qualitative nor the quantitative research should therefore be taken in isolation of the other, and nor should the findings of one district, borough, county or region be taken in isolation of the overall perspective provided by research in other areas. Just as residents themselves are at the centre of a number of different communities, so this research is at the centre of a wider body of research that provides context and a sense of place to the individual findings for each area.
