  • Hulme, Moss Side and Rusholme Neighbourhood Mosaic Profile
    Hulme, Moss Side and Rusholme Neighbourhood Mosaic Profile Summary • There are just over 21,300 households in the Hulme, Moss Side and Rusholme Neighbourhood. • The neighbourhood contains a range of different household types clustered within different parts of the area. Moss Side is dominated by relatively deprived, transient single people renting low cost accommodation whereas Hulme and Rusholme wards contain larger concentrations of relatively affluent young people and students. • Over 60% of households in Moss Side contain people whose social circumstances suggest that they may need high or very high levels of support to help them manage their own health and prevent them becoming high users of acute healthcare services in the future. However, the proportion of households in the other parts of the neighbourhood estimated to require this levels of support is much lower. This reflects the distribution of different types of household within the locality as described above. Introduction This profile provides more detailed information about the people who live in different parts of the neighbourhood. It draws heavily on the insights that can be gained from the Mosaic population segmentation tool. What is Mosaic? Mosaic is a population segmentation tool that uses a range of data and analytical methods to provide insights into the lifestyles and behaviours of the public in order to help make more informed decisions. Over 850 million pieces of information across 450 different types of data are condensed using the latest analytical techniques to identify 15 summary groups and 66 detailed types that are easy to interpret and understand. Mosaic’s consistent segmentation can also provide a ‘common currency’ across partners within the city.

  • Hyde Road Results 19 Sept
    MCC Response Hyde Road should have a dedicated cycle path, to use in both directions that is separate from traffic. The scheme is approximately 300m long and provides spatial provision should a cycleway be promoted for the corridor in the C 14 future. An application for cycle funding was made and rejected. Stairs for cyclists? I thought cycling what part of the strategy for reducing CO2 emissions in Manchester? This is only a deterrent. The steps are an additional provision made for pedestrians. However a wheeling ramp will also be provided for cyclists. Currently there is no provision to connect to the Fallowfield Loop at this location and therefore there is an overall benefit to the non motorised users. It is unfortunate but a ramp is not feasible due to land constraints, costs and serviceability. The other access points to the Fallowfield Loop will remain such as off Wall Way, which provide Disability Discrimination Act C 15 compliant access. This stretch of road needs safe, segregated cycling provision as part of this work. The location is immediately adjacent to the Fallowfield Loop The scheme is approximately 300m long and provides spatial provision should a cycleway be promoted for the corridor in the line, which brings cyclists to the area, which makes the need for safe, segregated cycling provision even more important. Please could you future. An application for cycle funding was made and rejected. seek the views of Cycling Commissioner Chris Boardman on this (and the views of his planning experts). Better to sort this out properly at the C 16 planning stage, rather than incur additional expense putting it right later.
