Statement'of'purpose' This report describes a partnership approach to collection and synthesis of evidence from key informant interviews, community profiling, asset/ service mapping and stakeholder consultation. It aims to identify gaps in current service provision and to provide evidence for prioritising options to improve health and well-being in Glossop (here regarded as synonymous with Glossopdale) and to reduce health inequalities. Intended'audience' This report will be of interest to those with roles in providing or commissioning health and related services for Glossop residents, the users of those services and individuals or organisations with an interest in the improvement of health and well- being in Glossop. Acknowledgements' The Contributors wish to acknowledge the assistance gratefully received from members of the community in Glossop and other stakeholders who agreed to be interviewed as part of this assessment. The Public Health Intelligence team, Derbyshire County Council, provided support.

Interpretation'of'this'report Restrictions'on'scope' In pre-defining the topic scope of this report, our ability to capture health needs outside of our chosen framework for assessing need is constrained. Limitations'of'evidence' The data contained in this report are aggregate and may therefore obfuscate some important variations in health indicators between community groups. Where available we have presented ward-level data to help identify inequalities within Glossop; we have deliberately avoided presenting district-level data and data that are very dated. Some indicators, however, have not been directly measured at ward level and therefore only modelled estimates are available, based on larger geographic areas. Practice-level health indicators are taken from the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) database, which was designed for performance management of general practices rather than as an epidemiological profiling tool. QOF is widely considered to under-estimate the community prevalence of ill health. The small number of key informant interviews and stakeholder questionnaires collated for this assessment may introduce bias and reflect an incomplete picture of health needs or service provision. Low numbers of events (below 5) are routinely supressed in official statistics; this may account for some missing data. Implications,'options'and'recommendations' The Steering Group acknowledge the desirability of making ‘SMART’ recommendations (specific, measurable, assignable/ attainable, relevant, time- bound) based on this report. This report is informational; subsequent work will review options and identify priorities for health improvement in Glossop. Interpretation'of'quilt'tables' A quilt table is a popular presentation format for health indicator data and is used extensively in this report. The colour coding refers to statistically significant differences and can be interpreted using the following keys: Worse than England Similar to England Better than England No statistical comparison average average average made Higher than England Similar to England Lower than England No statistical comparison average average average made Document'control' Classification: Public: information that can be made freely available in the public domain & would not cause damage or harm if released Date: 17 December 2014 Version: Final Enquiries: [email protected] ASSESSING'NEEDS'&'ASSETS'IN'GLOSSOP' 3!

  • 31-1-2017 Trans Pennine
    Public Agenda Item No. 8(i) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL CABINET 31 January 2017 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Communities TRANS-PENNINE HIGHWAY PROJECTS (HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE) (1) Purpose of Report To update Cabinet on a number of projects relating to highway links across the South Pennines and to recommend a County Council policy statement on these. (2) Information and Analysis There are currently a number of inter- related pieces of work being undertaken on existing and potential roads across the South Pennines. Essentially, these are a combination of Highways England’s management and maintenance programmes for the strategic road network and priorities for highways improvement emerging from Transport for the North (TfN), which is the sub-national transport body for the north of England. Cabinet will be aware that, in terms of governance, Derbyshire sits within the equivalent Midlands Connect sub-national transport body, but there are clearly strong relationships between the two entities in relation to economic geography and travel. Worthy of note is the considerable amount of work underway relating to connections between Manchester and Sheffield, which inevitably pass through Derbyshire. The key current areas of work on trans-Pennine roads are: • The Mottram Bypass and A57(T) to A57 Link Road The Road Investment Strategy (RIS) which sets out the work of Highways England for the period up to the year 2020-21 includes major schemes which are expected to begin construction during the RIS period. The Mottram Bypass would carry the Trunk Road around the village of Mottram-in-Longdendale (in Tameside) and provide a link between this and the A57 Principal Road near Woolley Bridge in Derbyshire.

  • Historical and Contemporary Archaeologies of Social Housing: Changing Experiences of the Modern and New, 1870 to Present
    Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Emma Dwyer School of Archaeology and Ancient History University of Leicester 2014 Thesis abstract: Historical and contemporary archaeologies of social housing: changing experiences of the modern and new, 1870 to present Emma Dwyer This thesis has used building recording techniques, documentary research and oral history testimonies to explore how concepts of the modern and new between the 1870s and 1930s shaped the urban built environment, through the study of a particular kind of infrastructure that was developed to meet the needs of expanding cities at this time – social (or municipal) housing – and how social housing was perceived and experienced as a new kind of built environment, by planners, architects, local government and residents. This thesis also addressed how the concepts and priorities of the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the decisions made by those in authority regarding the form of social housing, continue to shape the urban built environment and impact on the lived experience of social housing today. In order to address this, two research questions were devised: How can changing attitudes and responses to the nature of modern life between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries be seen in the built environment, specifically in the form and use of social housing? Can contradictions between these earlier notions of the modern and new, and our own be seen in the responses of official authority and residents to the built environment? The research questions were applied to three case study areas, three housing estates constructed between 1910 and 1932 in Birmingham, London and Liverpool.

This evaluation is a snapshot of an ongoing process of regeneration, which has a further 10 years to run, that aims to provide lessons for Onward, the wider housing sector, policy makers in local and central government. Our evaluation found that the regeneration interventions have been There are many lessons for future regeneration projects such as this. largely successful and significant progress has been made in meeting Referred to frequently by interviewees as a singular ‘act of genius’, the original objectives of the ‘Collaboration Agreement’, the founding the Collaboration Agreement has been the cornerstone of the legal document for the regeneration partnership. The quality of regeneration programme, leveraging in private sector investment to housing stock has been considerably improved – both the upgrading pay for transformations to the estate’s housing, retail, community and of existing stock and the construction of new housing. There is now a transport infrastructures while retaining public control of the land and greater mix of tenures with an unprecedented increase in new-build regeneration process. Much too can be learnt from the ‘relational’ owner occupation, and all housing stock now meets the Decent Homes as opposed to ‘transactional’ approach of PVHA which has been Standard.
