  • Ladywood District Jobs and Skills Plan 2015 Overview of Ladywood District1
    Ladywood Jobs and Skills Plan Ladywood District Jobs and Skills Plan 2015 Overview of Ladywood District1 Ladywood District covers the majority of the city centre, along with inner city areas to the north and east. It is composed of 4 wards – Aston, Ladywood, Nechells and Soho. Much of the district experiences some very challenging conditions in terms of labour market status, with very high levels of unemployment. But this contrasts with the city centre area – the east of Ladywood ward, and the south-west of Nechells ward – where unemployment and deprivation levels are low. Ladywood has a younger age profile to the city centre with a higher proportion of under 40s and fewer over 45s. Overall the proportion of working age adults (70%) is well above the city average (64%). The proportion rises to 84% in Ladywood ward, but is close to the city average in the other 3 wards. There are 23,828 residents aged 18-24 equating to 19% of the population, compared to 12 % for Birmingham, driven at least in part by large numbers of students. The ethnic profile of the working age population in the district differs to that of the city, with a much lower proportion of white working age residents (32%) compared to the city average (59%). But this masks ward variations, with the proportion only 15% in Aston, 23% in Soho and 31% in Nechells wards, but much closer to the city average at 52% in Ladywood ward. Overall, the largest non-white groups are Pakistani (13%) and Black Caribbean (9%). The Pakistani group forms 20% of the population in Aston and 16% in Nechells and Soho wards ,but only 3% in Ladywood ward.

Introduction In order to provide an income stream to both protect services and facilities within parks, as well as improving parks where we can, BCC is proposing the introduction of parking charges at selected parks. The proposed scheme at Lickey Hills Country Park will result in a number of key benefits, namely: Visitors to the park will benefit from reinvestment of revenue from car park charging into the park for its ongoing upkeep and future works Longstanding traffic management issues can be effectively managed and resolved. e.g. traffic restrictions along Warren Lane which will prevent vehicles causing an obstruction Improve accessibility by addition of formal disabled bays in the car parks The presence of enforcement officers can act as a visual deterrent which may deter any anti-social behaviour Ability for the Parks Service to meet savings targets for 2019/20 and onwards. The decision to introduce parking charges is not something the council has done lightly – in fact we’ve held off whilst many other councils throughout the country have introduced charging (see appendix B).
