1 How we have used population demographics

Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) have been used for the purpose of identifying the population demographics. These are geographical areas designed to improve the reporting of small geographical area statistics for Census purposes, and generally consist of between 1000 – 3000 people or 400 – 1200 households.

For the purposes of statistical analysis the population is divided into five equal groups called quintiles. The Locality Analysis focuses on those LSOAs which, when ranked against all other LSOAs in the country, fall into the first quintile because it has the highest concentration of a population demographic or a deprivation index, for example people aged 75 plus or Health Deprivation and Disability.

Colour coding is used in the graphics to effectively display the various concentrations in quintiles of a particular demographic for the LSOA in question. In the maps LSOAs that fall into the first quintile are coloured red, and those in the second quintile which has the next highest concentration, are displayed as amber. See below for legend key:

Population data for the Lower Super Output Areas has been derived from 2016 mid-year population estimates from the Office of National Statistics. Indices of deprivation 2015 data is from Communities and Local Government and Single Person Households data comes from 2011 Census, Office for National Statistics. The Indices of Deprivation 2015 measure relative deprivation in the Lower Super Output Areas and consist of seven domains of deprivation which are combined to form the Index of Multiple Deprivation.

4 Further information about the Silverdale locality analysis area

4.1 Access to local facilities and services for older or frail people with limited mobility

For the purposes of this analysis, services are considered accessible by public transport for frail, older people and people with limited mobility if they are within 160m of a bus stop which is assumed to be an acceptable walking distance for these individuals.

Bus routes

Map 2: Main bus routes in Silverdale village centre

Route: 1A Routes: 1, 1A

Routes: 25, 85

Source: Staffordshire County Council

GIS Locality Analysis: Silverdale Page 9

Bus routes are displayed as follows:

Silverdale is mainly served by the 1 and 1A bus services run by D&G Coach and Bus services which run between Audley and Meir up to every 20 minutes, between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., giving good links from the High Street, Silverdale to town centres in Newcastle, Stoke and Longton. It is an 11-minute journey from the stop adjacent The Parade in the village centre to Newcastle Bus Station.

The bus route is along the High Street, and through the housing estate to the south of Scot Hay Road on the west of the town centre, meaning that there is limited access for people who are less mobile and living on the outer edges of the village or on the housing estate to the north of Scot Hay Road.

Taxi services

There are numerous taxi services which cover Silverdale according to yell.com.

Community Transport

Door2Door Transport Service provides a service at reduced cost to anyone who needs help to get out if they are a resident of Newcastle, experience mobility problems which prevent them from using public transport and they have a low income. It will provide transport for: • Private business • Visiting friends/social events • Day care centres and clubs • Medical appointments.

The District Council may hold more information on local community transport services that are available in and around the local community.

Supermarkets

It has been assumed that larger supermarkets will enable people to access all of their food shopping needs. A corner shop, express or convenience store will only partially meet people’s needs, will potentially be more expensive and be used more for top up shopping rather than full shops.

There is one medium sized supermarket within a 1.5km radius of Silverdale village centre, located in the centre of the village. It is with a reasonable walking distance of a bus stop with two regular services.

6 Silverdale summary

Access to retail, banking, health and leisure services for frail, older people and people with limited mobility

Silverdale’s main services and facilities are concentrated around The Parade in the centre of the village. Bus stops adjacent to The Parade are used by two frequent services running throughout the day between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., giving good accessibility to a medium sized supermarket, and a GP surgery. These stops can also be used to access a much wider range of services and amenities in Newcastle so people living in Silverdale could use public transport to access other facilities such as a different GP surgery or a larger supermarket, although they may have to change bus service in Newcastle.

Buses run along High Street and a residential estate to the south of Scot Hay Road on the western edge of the village meaning they are less easily accessible to frail, older people and people with limited mobility and people who do not live close to the routes.

The Parade area appears to be fairly level with wide pavements and therefore accessible by foot and mobility scooter, and it has a good-sized car park for people who have access to their own transport. There is a pelican crossing adjacent to The Parade to facilitate crossing the High Street to the bus stop opposite The Parade.

There is no access by public transport to the post office, and two dental practices which are above reasonable walking distance of a bus stop for the target group. People who need to visit a bank, chiropodist or optician would need to travel into Newcastle or another town centre, however an accessible ATM is available at the Co-op supermarket.

Access to specialist housing and care facilities

There are no extra care schemes within the 1.5km radius of Silverdale village centre. The nearest facility is just outside the radius in Knutton.

91 units of sheltered or age exclusive housing are available with a mix of one and two bed flats and bungalows, and a further 19 units with access to care and support are planned to

GIS Locality Analysis: Silverdale Page 19

be available in April 2020. Current tenure options are limited to social rent only and the scheme under development is also expected to be affordable/social rent.

Although there are no residential care homes within the analysis area there are 17 care homes within a wider radius of 6km. One nursing home within the radius offers 27 beds, which are all registered for dementia and adults over 65.
