West Berkshire District Profile INTRODUCTION West Berkshire District Profile INTRODUCTION To understand how best to plan and deliver services for the people of West Berkshire, we need to understand the profile of the population and the external influences which play a part in shaping our district. This District Profile acts as a single repository of all key research information, ensuring that relevant and related findings are actively published and readily available. The profile sits alongside and informs the corporate, service and community planning processes as a current‐state headline report. The Profile pulls together different data from a range of sources to build up a picture of West Berkshire and the people living and working in it. It serves as a high‐level description of the district, providing key demographics of the area and focussing on particular key issues and priorities such as education, health, transport, crime and deprivation. The aim is to provide the District Profile as a ‘living’ document – a resource which can be actively mined for use in service planning: providing a high‐level, but relatively detailed overview of the district ‐ highlighting particular issues such as crime, health and community care more generically, and; acting as a conduit for accessing different data from which people can find further information, contacts, or undertake further analysis. The range of data sourced in the Profile is numerous and varied, but includes: Census 2011 data as well as annual population estimates and projections; Analysis of the Indices of Deprivation (2010); Other official government statistics such as the Schools Census, Labour Market Statistics and the Business Demography dataset; Official surveys such as the Annual Business Survey, Annual Population Survey and the Active People Surve; Local qualitative and satisfaction data – from consultation and other research exercises such as the Resident Satisfaction Survey, Leisure Time Survey and Community Safety Survey; Information from service areas and internal policy documents such as client profile data from Community Services and the Local Transport Plan; Additional data collected or produced by partner organisations such as the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA); Other material collected or used by regional / national agencies and other research projects. Throughout the District Profile there has been extensive signposting of, and links through to, supporting datasets, thus providing the profile as an interactive, online resource. Available from www.westberks.gov.uk/research 1 The District Profile was first produced in 2006 and has been used extensively by officers within the Council, and is referenced in policy documents such as the Local Development Framework, Local Transport Plan, Highways documents, the Local Economic Assessment and is used to help set the scene for the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment. It has also been used by external agencies and organisations as well as other interested individuals and other local authorities as an example of best practise. The District Profile has been refreshed on an annual basis to 2013 and is available to download from www.westberks.gov.uk/research Throughout this document data currently sourced from the 2001 census will be replaced by that of the 2011 census, when it becomes available. More detailed breakdowns of Census 2011 data to town, ward and lower super output levels are available at www.westberks.gov.uk/census2011. The Census 2011 interactive tool is available here.

The Ridgeway is a National Trail that covers six highway authority areas. SW illustrated the physical scope of The Ridgeway - 87 miles long and covering six Highway Authority areas. Formally designated in 1972. From 2015 there has been a requirement by Natural England that all national trails should be managed by a partnership, so in 2015 a partnership was formed for The Ridgeway, of which JB is a member (representing the BHS and updating on the work of the LAF). The Ridgeway Partnership works with landowners and WBC to maintain the trail, with EC ensuring that an annual survey is carried out each year. SW works for the trail four days per week, supplemented by one volunteer who works one day a week on practical tasks, plus one further member of staff, again one day per week, who deals with public enquiries.

  • R200608 TOWB Feb 2019.Dtp
    Account of Purley on Thames Tales of West Berkshire 2019 R200608 20/2/19 By Rick Jones published in Purley Parish News 2019 February WBC is launching a Lottery in the spring. The aim is to raise money for local good causes, which will be in addition to the commissions and grants that Council already provides directly to the Voluntary Sector. Recently, an event was held to brief charities, voluntary organisations and other good causes about the lottery, and how they should register to receive benefit. For the public, it works like this: When you buy a ticket for £1, you can specify which of the registered good causes you wish to receive money from the lottery. 60p of the ticket cost will go to good causes, the rest to prizes and administering the scheme. If you do not have a preference, you can leave it to the lottery panel to distribute fairly among those organisations registered. Please encourage any good causes locally that you are aware of, to apply. One parishioner asked if we could do anything to help our swans. Apparently advice that bread is not good for them has resulted in them not being fed at all, so they are getting nothing and starving. As far as I know, there is only one family in Purley, though more of course in Reading and Pangbourne. Now, the advice is please feed them - bread is not harmful, other foods even better! Everyone is aware that the Council is responsible for roads and verges, pavements and some footpaths. Responsibility is split between the Highways and Countryside departments.
