Obesity is associated with a range of health problems and the resulting NHS costs attributable to overweight and obesity are projected to reach £9.7 billion by 2050, equating to roughly £80 million for Bradford District, with wider costs to society estimated to reach £49.9 billion per year which would equate to roughly £400 million for Bradford District. The estimated prevalence of overweight and obesity amongst adults in Bradford is 69.7% which is above the national average of 64.6%. Approximately 28.1% of these adults are obese, 4.1% above the national average (2016-2017) The National Child Measure Programme (NCMP) is recognised as being a world-class source of data that is fundamental to efforts to tackle childhood obesity in England. Proportions of children with excess weight are higher in the Bradford District than nationally in both Reception and Year 6 with levels of obesity higher in Year 6 than in Reception. These factors combine to make the prevention of obesity a major public health challenge. We have devised an easy to follow directory with some of the services we fund across the district.

Data is displayed as a diagnostic rate (%), which is the observed number of dementia patients divided by the expected number (based on national prevalence rates). The % of total registered patients that have a dementia diagnosis is also displayed for Bradford City, Bradford District and AWC CCGs separately. Practices that have statistically significantly lower dementia diagnosis rates than both England and their CCG are: Bradford District CCG: City CCG: Sunnybank Little Horton Lane Dr Gilkar Thornton & Denholme Wibsey & Queensbury Wilsden Airedale, Wharfedale, Craven CCG Addingham surgery Oakworth Medical Practice As this analysis is based on a statistical model, possible reasons for low diagnosis rates may be over estimation of expected dementia patients or local service factors (e.g. additional care home patients registered with a practice).

Steve Hartley Portfolio: Strategic Director Place Regeneration, Planning & Transport Report Contact: Andrew Whelan Overview & Scrutiny Area: Principal Engineer Highway Maintenance Environment and Waste Management Phone: (01274) 434409 E-mail: [email protected] Bradford West Area Committee 1.0. SUMMARY 1.1. This report details the allocation of the capital highway maintenance budget to the Non-Classified road network and Surface Dressing sites for 2018/19 in Bradford West. 2.0. BACKGROUND 2.1. The capital highway maintenance element of the Local Transport Plan for all classification of road for Bradford in 2018/19 is £4,951,000. 2.2. It is essential that local highway maintenance continues to be prioritised, reflecting the economic and social importance to communities and the need to safeguard the largest single local public asset. As such the allocation is to be prioritised on those roads in most need of maintenance. 2.3. The varying types and classifications of roads are routinely monitored by standardised survey equipment. The sites chosen for inclusion are those that have been shown to be in the most need of repair on the most recent survey. This is supplemented by those roads that are known to have suffered increased deterioration due to the ageing process and recent winter weather.
