However, adults living alone is slightly lower than the Manchester average and is significantly less than in areas such as Hulme and Whalley Range. 7 Work & Employment Statistics from Manchester City Council (2011) demonstrates that Moss Side has a higher percentage of Job Seekers Allowance claimants than the both the averages for the wider Manchester area and nationally. The ward also has higher proportions of Council Tax Benefits and Housing Benefits than the national average, as well as primary and secondary children claiming free school meals. 8 Work & Employment (continued) Economic inactivity in Moss Side (41.6%) is nearly twice the national average (23.2%). However, a large majority of those economically inactive are students, which accounts for around a quarter of the whole population of Moss Side as a whole (NOMIS, 2011). 9 Crime Between March 2015 and February 2016, anti- social behaviour was reported 659 times in Moss Side, which makes up 36% of all crimes in the area (Police Portal, 2016). 10 Deprivation According to data published by the Public Intelligence Population Publications: Deprivation (2015), Moss Side is one of the most deprived wards in the country – with half the ward being considered in the top 2-5% of deprivation nationally. The other half of the ward is in the top 11-40% in national deprivation. 11 Community & Environment The Manchester City Council resident’s telephone survey (2011) indicates that although only 17% of residents in Moss Side perceive high levels of anti-social behaviour in the area. The same survey showed that 28% of locals perceive there to be an issue with drug and alcohol abuse. High levels of anti-social behaviour in an area can contribute to feelings of isolation and hostility, leaving residents to feel unsafe within their neighbourhood. 12 Community & Environment (continued) The same survey (Manchester City Council resident’s telephone survey, 2011) found that only 42% of residents feel that they have the ability to influence decisions in the area. There is a danger that if people feel that their voice does not have a role in the community, this may result in disengagement and a lack of service user involvement. Although 90% of residents in Moss Side feel that those from diverse backgrounds get on well together, 34% of people feel that there is an issue with levels of respect in the neighbourhood. This could also be linked with the high levels of anti-social behaviour in the area (pp.10) and can contribute to feelings of segregation and hostility within a community. 13 Community & Environment (continued) 22% of residents in Moss Side are unhappy with sport/leisure facilities and in the area (Manchester City Council, 2011). A further 29% are unhappy with the way public land is kept clean. However, 78% of residents were happy with sports/leisure facilities compared to just 66% in Manchester as a whole. 14 Community & Environment (continued) There are several community groups and local services in Hulme, including: • Salaam Community Centre • Manchester Refugee Support Network Adult services: Places of Worship in Moss Side: • Moss Side Leisure Centre • Active Lifestyles Centre • Christ Church • The Phil Martin Centre • Sikh Temple Manchester • The Kath Locke Centre (Border of Moss Side and Hulme) • Polish RC Church of Divine Mercy • Ossory Street allotments • Grace Church Manchester • • Caythorpe Street allotments Brotherhood of the Cross & Star • Vinelife Church Manchester • Greenheys Adult Learning Centre • Church of God of Prophecy Christian Centre • Moss Side & Hulme Community Development Trust • Saint James Church • The Works • Arrahman Manchester Islamic Cultural Association • Mosscare Housing Association • Guru Nanak Dev Ji Gurduwara Sikh Temple • Cornerstones Day Centre • Al Furqan Masjid- Islamic Community Centre and Mosque • Our Ladys RC Church 15 Community & Environment (continued) Manchester Refugee Support Network is an organisation that offers a variety of support services across Manchester and has several services based in Moss Side, aiming to support and empower refugee communities by exercising their rights and reducing isolation, poverty and unemployment. The services available include: the Somalian Women’s Group, Tamil Refugee Welcome Group, and Manchester Congolese Organisation. For more information on these services, visit http://www.mrsn.org.uk/ 16 Key Trends & Recommendations • Marital status: In Moss Side 60% of people are single (pp.4) • Housing Tenure: 44% of residents in this area are living in social housing (pp.5) • Length of Residency: Nearly a third of all residents in the neighbourhood have lived in the UK less than 10 years (pp.3) • Work patterns: Moss Side has higher levels of unemployment and benefit claimants than the national average (pp.8) • Residents Opinion: 34% of residents feel that there is an issue with individuals not respecting one another in the area (pp.13) There are a variety of services, places of worship, and community centres within Moss Side. However, due to the multi- cultural nature of the area, the residents rarely have an opportunity to integrate. The services available in Moss Side are often targeted at specific communities of need, rather than at the community as a whole. Although undertaking commendable work for the local area, segregated community services have an unintended consequence of isolating residents who do not feel they fit into the category of services available. 17 References Manchester City Council Census – Moss Side ward (2011) Manchester City Council Resident’s Telephone Survey (2011) NOMIS - Official Labour Market Statistics (2011) [Accessed July 2016] https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/lmp/ward2011/1140856984/report.aspx?town=moss side Police Portal – Detailed statistics for Moss Side (2016) [Accessed July 2016] https://www.police.uk/greater-manchester/EC12/crime/stats/ Public Intelligence Population Publications: Deprivation (2015) [Accessed July 2016] http://www.manchester.gov.uk/downloads/download/414/research_and_intelligence_population_publications_deprivation UK Census Data (2011) [Accessed July 2016] http://www.ukcensusdata.com/moss-side-e05000710#sthash.dmS1Hzoi.dpbs 18.

    Hulme, Moss Side and Rusholme Neighbourhood Mosaic Profile

    Hulme, Moss Side and Rusholme Neighbourhood Mosaic Profile Summary • There are just over 21,300 households in the Hulme, Moss Side and Rusholme Neighbourhood. • The neighbourhood contains a range of different household types clustered within different parts of the area. Moss Side is dominated by relatively deprived, transient single people renting low cost accommodation whereas Hulme and Rusholme wards contain larger concentrations of relatively affluent young people and students. • Over 60% of households in Moss Side contain people whose social circumstances suggest that they may need high or very high levels of support to help them manage their own health and prevent them becoming high users of acute healthcare services in the future. However, the proportion of households in the other parts of the neighbourhood estimated to require this levels of support is much lower. This reflects the distribution of different types of household within the locality as described above. Introduction This profile provides more detailed information about the people who live in different parts of the neighbourhood. It draws heavily on the insights that can be gained from the Mosaic population segmentation tool. What is Mosaic? Mosaic is a population segmentation tool that uses a range of data and analytical methods to provide insights into the lifestyles and behaviours of the public in order to help make more informed decisions. Over 850 million pieces of information across 450 different types of data are condensed using the latest analytical techniques to identify 15 summary groups and 66 detailed types that are easy to interpret and understand. Mosaic’s consistent segmentation can also provide a ‘common currency’ across partners within the city.

    Case Study: DataGM Type: Website Organisation(s): GM local authorities, Open Data Manchester, GMFRS Tags: open data, process, standards, website This was the earliest attempt in Greater Manchester to create a simple datastore that would hold important data from across the region, focussing on government transparency and providing better public services. The result was a highly functional datastore with which brought together data from a wider range of data publishers, and included a total of 371 datasets. It was ultimately not successful in creating a lasting basis for open data cooperation and access in Greater Manchester. However, it provides interesting lessons on how to proceed with future projects. Background DataGM was launched in February 2011, inspired by successful projects in North American cities, such as Track DC (now Open Data DC) in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore City Stats (now Open Baltimore). It was conceived as a one-stop-shop for key datasets on all aspects of city life. The programme emerged through a partnership between Trafford Council and the digital culture agency Future Everything. This began in 2009 when the Manchester Innovation Fund supported Future Everything to build open data innovation architecture in Greater Manchester, funded by NESTA, Manchester Council and the North West Regional Development Agency (now closed). Future Everything and Trafford Council in turn partnered with a wide range of data publishing organisations. These included local authority partners, as well as Greater Manchester Policy, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (now Transport for Greater Manchester), and the North West Strategic Health Authority.
