Ward Description

Benton ward includes the areas of Benton, and the ‘Manors’ estate adjacent to Coach Lane.

The northern boundary is provided by Great Lime Road and the Southern boundary by the Northumbria University (Coach Lane Campus) and Tyneview Park.

The eastern boundary heads north up past Darsley Park, across Whitley Road and behind (but not including)the Bellway Industrial Estate, with its final point along Bamburgh Road and onto Great Lime Road.

The western boundary runs along Fir Tree Farm and past (but not including) Benton Dene Primary School, it then heads to Benton Metro Station (including St Bartholomew’s church on the way – but not St Andrew’s), after a short spell on Station Road it follows the metro line to Four Lane Ends and then continues for a short distance down Benton road as far as Manor Road where it carries on to Coach Lane.

Select Ward Benton Produced by Policy, Performance & Research Dear Reader

This document aims to provide a collection of information to give an overview of the ward. It is designed to offer quick and easy access to regularly requested data.

It is updated on an annual basis where most recent data will be provided with comparisons where appropriate.

Large elements of the information contained in this booklet has been obtained from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) and is based on census data.

The reader must note that this data is based on estimates due to the nature of the census. The census is not based on a 100% response rate. In order to improve the data, statistical calculations have been carried out by ONS to provide a best estimate. It is also possible that some data may have been swapped between areas by ONS to prevent disclosure of households with unusual characteristics. This usually applies where there are small numbers involved in the dataset. An explanation of this can be found at the following link. http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/the-2011-census/processing-the-information/statistical-methodology/statistical- disclosure-control-for-2011-uk-census---q-a.pdf?format=hi-vis At the back of this document is a page with links to relevant website pages to enable further information or deeper detail of data.

Actual Ward Boundary

The Best Fit Ward

The first map, top left, shows the ACTUAL Ward boundary. This is the boundary used, from 10 June 2004, for the election of Ward Councillors, of which there are three for each Ward.

The second map, bottom left, shows a 'Best Fit Ward'. This is a stable geographical area that enables data not available at the ACTUAL Ward level, to be aggregated and compared. Best Fit Wards are created by the Office Best Fit Ward Boundary for National Statistics (ONS). Further information about the methodology used can be found by following the link on the Crest above. Alternatively, there is a link address is included at the back of this woorkbook. The Best Fit Ward is made up of geographies known as Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOA's), There are 131 LSOA's in .

Best Fit Wards created from Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOA's) do not match exactly to the ACTUAL Ward boundaries.

The English Indices of Deprivation 2019 are based on 39 separate indicators, organised across seven domains (and sub-domains) of deprivation which are combined, using appropriate weights, to calculate the Index of Multiple E01008502 Deprivation (IMD). This is an overall measure of multiple deprivation experienced by people living in an area and is calculated for every Lower layer Super Output Area (LSOA) in England. Each LSOA has an average population of 1,640 people 0 2 4 6 8 10 (mid 2013 estimate).

2019 IMD Decile There are 32,844 LSOA’s in England; everyone is ranked according to its level of deprivation relative to that of other areas, 1 being classed the most deprived and 32,844 being the least. 2019 IMD Decile 1 10 More Information: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-indices-of-deprivation-2019 The total population of Benton Ward is, 10,264.

IMD Decile of Deprivation Standardised Mortality Rate 1 10 (Observed / Expected) *100 (a full explaination is included on the following page) Benton Produced by Policy, Performance & Research 19. Standardised Mortality Rates As national death rates were used as the standard for the results, the SMR for England and Wales is 100. The results for wards therefore allow their mortality experience to be compared with the national average. If an SMR is less than 100 that means the number of deaths for a ward was less than would have been expected. Conversely if an SMR is greater than 100 the number of deaths was greater than expected. As crude rates are not helpful for comparison purposes mortality rates are often age standardised. The method used to calculate SMRs is called indirect standardisation. The SMRs presented here have been standardised using death rates for England and Wales. The national death rates in each age group (up to age 85) were used to calculate how many deaths would be expected in a particular ward given the size and age structure of its population. This gives a total number of “expected” deaths in each area. This figure is then compared with the actual number of “observed” deaths which did take place. For example, given national death rates the number of deaths in a particular ward might be expected to be 80 but only 40 were observed. The SMR is then the ratio of the observed to expected or 40 divided by 80. For presentational purposes the ratios are normally multiplied by 100.

The formula is therefore: 20. Local Area - A good place to live? Benton Ward In our annual Residents Survey - we ask: 'What makes an area a good place to live?'

The Indices of Deprivation 2019 provide a set of relative measures of deprivation for small areas (Lower-layer Super Output Areas - LSOAs) across England, based on seven domains of deprivation. The domains were combined using the following weights to produce the overall Index of Multiple Deprivation.

· Income Deprivation (22.5%) · Employment Deprivation (22.5%) · Education, Skills and Training Deprivation (13.5%) · Health Deprivation and Disability (13.5%) · Crime (9.3%) · Barriers to Housing and Services (9.3%) · Living Environment Deprivation (9.3%)

In addition to the Index of Multiple Deprivation and the seven domain indices, there are two supplementary indices: the Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) and the Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index (IDAOPI).

Income Deprivation Domain. The Income Deprivation Domain measures the proportion of the population in an area experiencing deprivation relating to low income. The definition of low income used includes both those people that are out-of-work, and those that are in work but who have low earnings (and who satisfy the respective means tests).

The indicators

· Adults and children in Income Support families · Adults and children in income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance families · Adults and children in income-based Employment and Support Allowance families · Adults and children in Pension Credit (Guarantee) families · Adults and children in Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit families not already counted, that is those who are not in receipt of Income Support, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, income-based Employment and Support Allowance or Pension Credit (Guarantee) and whose equivalised income (excluding housing benefit) is below 60 per cent of the median before housing costs · Asylum seekers in England in receipt of subsistence support, accommodation support, or both. The counts for each of these indicators at Lower-layer Super Output Area level were summed to produce a non-overlapping overall count of income deprived individuals. This overall count was then expressed as a proportion of the total population of the Lower-layer Super Output Area for mid-2015 (from the Office for National Statistics) less the prison population (from the Ministry of Justice). In addition an Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index and an Income Deprivation Affecting Older People Index were created, respectively representing the proportion of children aged 0-15, and people aged 60 and over, living in income deprived households. 28.

Employment Deprivation Domain The Employment Deprivation Domain measures the proportion of the working age population in an area involuntarily excluded from the labour market. This includes people who would like to work but are unable to do so due to unemployment, sickness or disability, or caring responsibilities.

The indicators

· Claimants of Jobseeker’s Allowance (both contribution-based and income based), women aged 18 to 59 and men aged 18 to 64 · Claimants of Employment and Support Allowance, (both contribution-based and income-based) women aged 18 to 59 and men aged 18 to 64 · Claimants of Incapacity Benefit, women aged 18 to 59 and men aged 18 to 64 · Claimants of Severe Disablement Allowance, women aged 18 to 59 and men aged 18 to 64 · Claimants of Carer’s Allowance, women aged 18 to 59 and men aged 18 to 64. · Claimants of Universal Credit in the 'Searching for work' and 'No work requirements' conditionality groups.

Education, Skills and Training Deprivation Domain

The Education, Skills and Training Domain measures the lack of attainment and skills in the local population. The indicators fall into two sub-domains: one relating to children and young people and one relating to adult skills. These two subdomains are designed to reflect the ‘flow’ and ‘stock’ of educational disadvantage within an area respectively. That is, the ‘children and young people’ sub-domain measures the attainment of qualifications and associated measures (‘flow’), while the ‘skills’ sub-domain measures the lack of qualifications in the resident working age adult population (‘stock’).

The indicators

Children and Young People sub-domain

Crime Domain

Crime is an important feature of deprivation that has major effects on individuals and communities. The Crime Domain measures the risk of personal and material victimisation at local level.

The indicators

The indicators fall into two sub-domains: ‘geographical barriers’, which relate to the physical proximity of local services, and ‘wider barriers’ which includes issues relating to access to housing such as affordability.

The indicators

Geographical Barriers sub-domain · Road distance to a post office · Road distance to a primary school · Road distance to a general store or supermarket · Road distance to a GP surgery. 30.

Wider Barriers sub-domain · Household overcrowding: The proportion of all households in a Lower-layer Super Output Area which are judged to have insufficient space to meet the household’s needs · Homelessness: Local authority district level rate of acceptances for housing assistance under the homelessness provisions of the 1996 Housing Act, assigned to the constituent Lower-layer Super Output Areas · Housing affordability: Difficulty of access to owner-occupation or the private rental market, expressed as the inability to afford to enter owner occupation or the private rental market. Living Environment Deprivation Domain

The Living Environment Deprivation Domain measures the quality of the local environment. The indicators fall into two sub-domains. The ‘indoors’ living environment measures the quality of housing; while the ‘outdoors’ living environment contains measures of air quality and road traffic accidents.

The indicators

Indoors sub-domain · Houses without central heating: The proportion of houses that do not have central heating · Housing in poor condition: The proportion of social and private homes that fail to meet the Decent Homes standard.
