It provides robust data that reflects the perceptions of Area 7 residents on key quality of life, anti social behaviour and corporate satisfaction indicators/figures 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS IT IS RECOMMENDED that the Committee: − Note the Area 7 findings − Note that Council Departments will analyse the data presented by Mori and integrate them into their service planning processes for 2006/2007 − Note that information from the survey is to be used to develop the Community Plan. 3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 3.1 In October/November 2005 MORI undertook Nottingham’s 2 nd Residents survey. The Council worked in partnership with One Nottingham who wished to engage city residents as part of the safer and stronger communities’ strand of Neighbourhood Renewal, focussing on local communities’ quality of life. In total 2,033 City residents took part of these 207 are Area 7 residents. 3.2 It is worth noting that the survey dealt with residents’ perceptions at the time the survey was conducted rather than facts . Residents’ perceptions, therefore, may not accurately represent the level and quality of services that are currently provided in Area 7 and Nottingham as a whole. One of the challenges will be to link these perceptions with other data that is available, for example, performance indicators or other measurements of service quality. 4 AREA 7 KEY FINDINGS 4.1 The following table provides comparative data for Area 7 on 2004, 2005 and Nottingham as whole (2005) data 2004 2005 +/ - Nottm Signft Whole Chng Satisfaction with the way the Council runs things 36% 49% +13 54% Y % Who are satisfied with their local area as a place to live 71% 80% +9 68% N % Who are not satisfied with their local area as a place to live 12% 11% -1 19% N % Who feel their neighbourhood has got better in the last 2 - 6% - 13% n/a years % Who feel their neighbourhood has got worse in the last 2 - 38% - 36% n/a years % Who are satisfied with Nottingham as whole as a place to 59% 65% +6 70% N live % Who are not satisfied with Nottingham as whole as a place 21% 12% -9 16% Y to live Feel safe in the city centre in the day 76% 91% +15 89% Y Feel safe in the city centre after dark 30% 26% -4 32% N Feel safe in the local neighbourhood in the day 94% 95% +1 90% N Feel safe in the local neighbourhood after dark 60% 60% - 46% n/a Sense of belonging to local neighb ourhood 66% 76% +10 Y Sense of belonging to Nottingham City 72% 70% -2 78% N % Who agree that people from different ethnic backgrounds 72% 77% +5 70% N that get on well together % Who agree that their area is a place where people respect 75% 79% +4 69% N ethnic differences % Who say that by working together local residents can 54% 46% -8 55% N influence decisions affecting their local area % Who agree that they can personally influence decisions 21% 28% +7 52% N affecting their neighbourhood % Who feel noisy neighbours or loud parties are a very/fairly 16% 4% -12 17% Y problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel teenagers hanging around on the streets are a 37% 25% -12 43% Y very/fairly problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel vandalism, graffiti and other deliberate damage to 39% 22% -17 42% Y property or vehicles is a very/fairly problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel people being attacked because of their skin 10% 4% -6 14% Y colour, ethnic origins or religion is a very/fairly problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel people using or dealing drugs is a very/fairly 17% 11% -6 37% N problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel people being drunk and rowdy in public places is a 20% 6% -14 28% Y very/fairly problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel people sleeping rough on the streets or in other 6% 3% -3 11% N public places is a problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel rubbish and litter lying around is a very/fairly 36% 22% -14 49% Y problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel abandoned or burnt out cars are a very/fairly 12% 5% -7 18% Y problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel people are being attacked because of their - 2% - 9% n/a disability is a problem in their local neighbourhood % Who feel people being attacked because of their sexual 4% 2% -2 8% Y orientation is a very/fairly problem in their local neighbourhood 4.2 Positive Aspects of life in Area 7 4.3 Respondents across the City where asked what where the positive aspects about life in Nottingham, the following table provides the top 5 aspects for Area 7 residents: 1 Shops 47% 2 Transport 30% 3= Quiet Area 23% 3= Health Centres 23% 5 Appearance 22% 4.4 Priorities for improving life in Area 7 4.5 Respondents across the City where asked what should the priorities be for improving life in Nottingham, the following table provides the top 5 aspects for Area 7 residents: 1 Safety/Crime 50% 2 Affordable homes 33% 3 Better schools 30% 4 Reducing litter 22% 5 Better Recycling 20% 4.7 When looking at perceived Anti Social Behaviour; Area 7 residents were consistently the lowest Area across the City saying that individual ASB issues were a problem.

    Chapter Eight: Accessibility Priorities for Greater Nottingham Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 147 148 Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 Introduction 8.1. Following on from the Strategic Accessibility Assessment in Chapter 7, this chapter sets out the accessibility priorities for Greater Nottingham and explains why specific issues, groups and areas have been selected for action over the Plan period, with more detailed local accessibility analysis presented for the Local Accessibility Action plans proposed for early action from 2006/7. Accessibility priorities – initial scoping 8.2. An initial scoping of the likely accessibility priorities for the Plan area was presented in the Framework Accessibility Strategy which drew upon the opportunities identified from the wider national and local policy context set out in Chapters 3 and 4 and the partnership working described in Chapter 6. This provided a broad picture of the accessibility issues facing Greater Nottingham and where future resources and action should be concentrated over the Plan period in terms of key origins, destinations and networks: 8.3. Origins: Access requirements need to be considered for key population groups across Greater Nottingham, with a particular focus on those without access to a car, plus all those living within specific communities which have been prioritised by the authorities as being in particular need. Accessibility origins are set out in Table 8.1. 8.4. Destinations: Consideration was also given to the location of core services. The priority destinations set out in Table 8.2 include new employment land sites, district centres as defined in the Local Plans, other local centres and major shopping locations and other key destinations determined by developments taking place over the Plan period as set out in the programme in Annex D.

All rights reserved of the authors. ISBN: 978-0-9934093-2-5 2 Foreword The Decent Homes Programme (DHP) was introduced by the UK Government in 2000 to address ‘a large backlog of repairs in local authority housing, estimated at £19 billion in 1997’. It aimed at improving the homes of social housing tenants, making them ‘warm, wind-and weather-tight, and with reasonable modern facilities’, based on a defi ned ‘Decent Homes Standard’ (National Audit Offi ce, 2010). Nottingham City Homes (NCH) initiated its £187m Decent Homes Programme in 2008, branded locally as Secure, Warm, Modern (SWM), to improve the 28,300 council-owned properties in the city up to and beyond the Government’s standard. It was widely assumed that making homes secure, warm and modern would result in a number of benefi ts to the lives of individual tenants, and also that a such a large investment would have a signifi cant positive impact on particular neighbourhoods and on the city as a whole.
