Deprivation & Inequality 2 Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) However, the SIMD ranking provides a snapshot comparison of deprivation levels and inequality across the Council and the seven wards. The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2016 identifies small area concentrations of multiple deprivation across Scotland . This is done by Comparisons of SIMD rankings between years are limited in value as the combining data from seven distinct domains or topic areas which are difference in the rankings can be caused by changes elsewhere rather than by considered to be important contributors to deprivation levels: improvement or worsening of conditions/ indicators in a datazone. Historical comparisons are not possible as the boundaries and overall number of data • Current Income (weighting: 28%). zones increased. • Employment (28%). • Health (14%). Table 2.1 shows the change in population in each quintile for East Lothian. • Education, Skills and Training (14%).

Table 2.1: Change in population by deprivation quintile (SIMD 2012; SIMD 2016). • Housing (2%). There are a total of 38 indicators across these seven domains. Each domain is ranked but then an overall SIMD ranking is produced using a weighting of all Population by Deprivation Quintile (2012 & 2016) seven domains with higher weighting given to the income and employment 2012 2016 domains (see above). 32.0% The overall SIMD ranking is a relative measure of deprivation that ranks 6,976 27.7% 26.1% 25.6% data zones across Scotland and compares them.

The rankings run from 1 being the most deprived to 6,976 being the least deprived. Therefore, the lower the rank, the more deprived according to the 4.9% 3.7% SIMD categorisation. As the SIMD ranking is a relative measure, it does not show how much more deprived one datazone is than another, e.g. a datazone 1st Quintile (Most 2nd Quintile 3rd Quintile 4th Quintile 5th Quintile ranked 20 is not necessarily twice as deprived as a datazone ranked 40.

  • Tranent Cluster Area Early Years Profile

    Tranent Cluster Area Early Years Profile

    Tranent Cluster Area Early Years Profile Introduction Over the last two years a group of service and community champions for Support from the Start have developed a wide range of initiatives and programmes aimed at improving health and social equality through a focus on children’s early years – pre birth to 8 years of age. This approach has evaluated positively (Healthy Happy Bairns) and a second phase for Support from the Start has been agreed by East Lothian community planning partners. A key part of the phase two approach is the development of local ‘champions’ or ‘link up’ groups in each of the school clusters. A fuller description of the proposed champions groups can be found here but in short they will bring together key people from the community and local services to focus on action to improve chances for children pre birth to 8. Each group will have a link to the Support from the Start planning board and a small development http://www.visiteastlothian.org/gallery.asp fund has been agreed for the group’s use. Tranent Cluster Area Overview Tranent is situated towards the west of East Lothian lying between Haddington and Musselburgh on the south side of the main A1 road. The history of Tranent is based around local farming and coal-mining as the town coat of arms reflects but in this 21st century its residents work in many different professions throughout East Lothian and in the capital Edinburgh. The Cluster area includes the settlements of Tranent, Ormiston, Elphinstone, Macmerry, Saltoun and Pencaitland and has one secondary school and eight primary schools, most with http://www.eastlothianmuseu ms.org/exhibitions/tranent/ob attached nursery classes.

    North Berwick Town Centre Strategy

    North Berwick Town Centre Strategy 2018 Supplementary Guidance to the East Lothian Local Development Plan 2018 1 NORTH BERWICK TOWN CENTRE STRATEGY 1.0 Purpose of the North Berwick Town Centre Strategy 1.1 The North Berwick Town Centre Strategy forms a part of the adopted East Lothian Local Plan 2018 (LDP). It is supplementary guidance focusing on the changes that the Local Development Plan is planning to the town of North Berwick and the implications of that change for the town centre. The LDP introduces new planning policies adopting the town centre first principle and has detailed planning polices for town centres to guide development. 1.2 The strategy looks in more detail than the LDP into the town centre. A health check of the town centre is provided, its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are considered and its performance as a place with coordinated actions for improvement and regeneration. 1.3 In addition to the LDP and its supporting documents, the town centre strategy draws on the work done by the North Berwick Town Centre Charrette in 2015 and takes account of the Council’s emerging Local Transport Strategy as well as relevant parts of the North Berwick Coastal Area Partnership Area Plan. It is a material consideration in the determination of planning applications that affect the town centre. 2.0 Policy Context Local Development Plan Policy for Town Centres 2.1 The adopted East Lothian Local Development Plan 2018 (LDP) promotes the Town Centre First Principle which requires that uses that would attract significant footfall must consider locating to a town or local centre first and then, sequentially, to an edge of centre location, other commercial centre or out of centre location.

  • The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans Designation

    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans Designation

    The Inventory of Historic Battlefields – Battle of Prestonpans The Inventory of Historic Battlefields is a list of nationally important battlefields in Scotland. A battlefield is of national importance if it makes a contribution to the understanding of the archaeology and history of the nation as a whole, or has the potential to do so, or holds a particularly significant place in the national consciousness. For a battlefield to be included in the Inventory, it must be considered to be of national importance either for its association with key historical events or figures; or for the physical remains and/or archaeological potential it contains; or for its landscape context. In addition, it must be possible to define the site on a modern map with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The aim of the Inventory is to raise awareness of the significance of these nationally important battlefield sites and to assist in their protection and management for the future. Inventory battlefields are a material consideration in the planning process. The Inventory is also a major resource for enhancing the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of historic battlefields, for promoting education and stimulating further research, and for developing their potential as attractions for visitors.

Approaching Prestonpans you’ll spot the towering chimney that marks the industrial heritage museum at Prestongrange. After a tour of the free museum, continue along the John Muir Way through Prestonpans and see how many of the murals you can spot. There’s plenty of history on this route, passing near the site of the 1745 Battle of Prestonpans and Scotland’s oldest railway, revealed at the 1722 Waggonway Museum. Continue along the coast to Cockenzie and Port Seton, where the harbour seal might pop up to greet you.
