  • Financial Distress
    Denton and Reddish Parliamentary Constituency This is the second bulletin of 2014 produced by Northern Housing Consortium (NHC) providing analysis of housing-related data for the Parliamentary Constituencies in the North of England. The report provides analysis of the impacts of welfare reform and the housing market in the constituency. We have used the following symbols to indicate your performance against the relevant regional or national statistics. Above average Reference point Below average Financial Distress According to The Poverty Site, using data from Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), 22.3% of employees in the Tameside area are paid less than £7 per hour (below their low paid threshold). Census data shows that in Denton and Reddish, 26.1% of 16 to 74 year olds in employment worked part-time and that of these, 26.7% worked 15 hours or less. As Figure 1 below shows, Denton West (28.6%) has the highest proportions of part-time workers working 15 hours or less. Across the North, the number of people claiming Housing Benefit whilst in employment (and not on a passported Benefit) has risen by 7% between May 2013 and May 2014. There was also an increase in Denton and Reddish (13.1%) from 1,237 to 1,399 during this time (DWP). A survey carried out by Which? estimates that 44% of people in the constituency are worried about their level of household debt and 51% are worried about the level of their savings and investments. It also shows that 8% have defaulted on a loan, bill or housing costs.
