Appendices – Page No. 2 INTRODUCTION This Neighbourhood Profile for the South area of the city covers the following wards: Trumpington, Cherry Hinton and Queen Edith’s. The profiles have been collated by the City Council’s Neighbourhood Community Development Team (NCDT) as a tool to developing work plans for the coming year and beyond. Data collated contains some information from the latest census therefore areas of new housing growth including Nine Wells will not included from the data-sets. The profiles aim to capture key facts and statistics about the area, services that are delivered by the Council and other statutory and voluntary sector partners, key community groups and activities in the area as well as what are perceived to be gaps in provision. Focus groups were held with residents and community groups in each area to identify both positive perceptions of the community as well as identifying issues and gaps from a resident’s perspective. The NCDT has recently realigned its community development resources to work in the areas of highest need in the city. Key themes and issues from the profiling exercise will help to shape the work priorities for the team for the coming year within the resources allocated to each area. It is envisaged that these profiles will be used by other services within the City Council and other partners as an information resource for working in particular areas of the city Our thanks to everyone who has provided information included in the profile For further information about this profile please contact: [email protected] Useful links for further information about the work of the team https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/communities-and-people https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/community-centres https://www.cambridge.gov.uk/events-and-activities-in-your-community Neighbourhood Community Development Team July 2019 3 2. DEMOGRAPHICS The following headline information has been gathered for Trumpington, Cherry Hinton and Queen Edith’s wards highlighting in particular, levels of deprivation and key indicators that would help identify need. This information was gathered from Cambridgeshire Insight and Cambridge City Council Mapping Poverty Report 2017. Some of this information is based on the Census 2011 and as such, will not include new housing or demographic changes from this point, readers are reminded to consider local differentiations. Trumpington Trumpington has expanded rapidly since 2012 with 3700 homes built or in progress across three 3 sites. The area now has 3 new primary schools, a community college, community facilities and two new country parks.

HOUSING Trumpington This data does not include the increase in population from 2011. Cherry Hinton Cherry Hinton 15 Queen Edith’s Loneliness and isolation Age UK has recently compiled a loneliness map for those 65+. http://data.ageuk.org.uk/loneliness-maps/england-2016/cambridge/ Trumpington ranges from very low to medium risk. Queen Edith’s generally has very low risk with a small pocket of medium risk in streets adjacent to Mowbray Road. Cherry Hinton however has a much higher risk rating with significant proportion of the ward with high or significantly high risk for older people to be experiencing loneliness and isolation. Check out the map for more detailed analysis. Loneliness can be felt by anyone at any age and any time but there are some indicators when people are more likely to be at risk, at times of life-changing events such as moving home, becoming a parent and moving into retirement.
