This success is due in part to a dynamism and ability to manage change that enable us to respond to the needs of investors and changing economic and social circumstances faster than older, more established cities. This agility provides Milton Keynes with a competitive advantage but requires high quality and timely information to help all concerned understand the changing nature of our communities. This is especially true for those providing services to the public who need to assess the impacts of policies and make decisions about where to focus spending. The Council believes that all those living in Milton Keynes should enjoy happy and fulfilled lives, and be safe from harm and neglect and achieve their full potential. The Social Atlas is a vital tool for all those working toward this aspiration as we seek to understand both opportunity and vulnerability and where we can most effectively act. In case of queries about the data, contact: Paul Edwards Milton Keynes Intelligence Milton Keynes Council Civic Offices Milton Keynes MK9 3HQ 01908 254257 [email protected] An electronic copy of this publication can be found on the MKi Observatory web site, where datasets can also be downloaded: www.mkiobservatory.org.uk 2 Social Atlas for Milton Keynes 2012/13 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Milton Keynes as a whole is relatively affluent and most people enjoy a good quality of life but significant numbers of residents experience disadvantage in one or more categories. Income • The rate of housing or council tax claimants grew to a high of 237.3 per 1,000 dwellings in 2010. Over the last three years the rate has decreased to 226.4 per 1,000. However this is still slightly higher than the 2009 rate of 222.4. • The rate of housing or council tax claimants varies considerably within Milton Keynes. Beanhill has the highest rate with 617.6 per 1,000 dwellings. Education • The rate of children claiming free schools meals increased from 116.1 per 1,000 pupils in 2009 to 145.1 in 2012. However in 2013 the rate fell to 135.5. Beanhill had the highest rate of free school meals in Milton Keynes with a rate of 385.5. • Educational attainment has increased both at Key Stage 2 and GCSE level over the last 5 years. The rate of pupils not attaining level 4 in key stage 2 English has reduced from 201.5 per 1,000 pupils in 2008 to 129.2 in 2012. There has been a large decrease in those not obtaining 5 GCSEs at grade A*-C including English and Maths. It has decreased from 578.9 per 1,000 pupils in 2008 to 414.8 in 2012. • Educational attainment also varies within Milton Keynes with the lowest attainment seen in Beanhill and Eaglestone. Community Factors • Levels of Criminal Damage and Violent Crime have decreased considerably over the last year. Criminal damage experienced the largest decrease; it fell from 13.1 crimes per 1,000 population to 10.1. • The highest rates for both violent crime and criminal damage occurred in Central Milton Keynes because of the high visitor numbers. • Granby had the highest rate of neighbour complaints to environmental services with 171.1 complaints per 1,000 dwellings. The Milton Keynes average was 30.5. • The rate of dwelling fires in Milton Keynes has been steadily declining. In 2002/8 there were 9.1 fires per 1,000 dwellings by 2007/12 this had declined to 7.5. Health and Disability • Disabled concessionary fares and clients of disabled services are included as a pointer towards areas where the population have greater need of support. Estates which have high levels in these indicators include Beanhill, Coffee Hall, Pennyland and Willen Park. Social Atlas for Milton Keynes 2012/13 3 • The average life expectancy in Milton Keynes for 2007-2011 was 80.2 years, slightly higher than the previous year although this may be due to statistical fluctuations. The range between wards was almost 11 years. The ward with the highest life expectancy in this period is Middleton with a life expectancy at birth of 86.3 years. Woughton has the lowest life expectancy of 75.4 years, but this has risen since the previous calculations. 4 Social Atlas for Milton Keynes 2012/13 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this series of documents is to enable people working towards social inclusion to identify: • The most significant social inclusion issues • Geographic concentrations of need • The relative severity of social exclusion compared with other areas and the national picture • A snapshot position • Geographic areas and issues where development of services and initiatives might be focused • To measure change It also serves to prompt discussion on possible causes of inequality and suggestions for actions to achieve improvement. The data used are primarily locally collected, intended to highlight areas with a high need for public services. The indicators included this year are directly comparable with previous years. Due to issues of data quality and availability this year data on adult continuing education users and student awards have been removed. The ideals restricting choices for indicators are that: • They should be capable of being collected at ward and/or below ward level • They should be commonly available across all local authorities • They should ideally allow for national comparisons • They should have an acknowledged relationship with disadvantage. Some data in the estate profile relates to small numbers, especially in the smaller estates, caution should therefore be applied when interpreting the profiles. Useful developments since the first document have been: 1. The setting up of the Office for National Statistics website for the Neighbourhood Statistics Service. Extensive amounts of data, from the 2001 census and other administrative data sources, are available at local level at no cost. The site can be found at www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk 2. The development and updating of the Index of Multiple Deprivation, a multi- dimensional indicator available to lower-super output area level, published in 2000, 2004, 2007 and 2010. 3. The development of the MKi Observatory, a web-based data resource to share, map and visualise data. The web site can be found at: www.mkiobservatory.org.uk Social Atlas for Milton Keynes 2012/13 5 LOCAL AUTHORITY LEVEL DATA The table below outlines how Milton Keynes compares to the national and regional average on a range of indicators.

    ‘The Barn’, Shenley Church End, Milton Keynes Offers invited in the region of £400,000 Offered with Planning Permission for the renovation/rebuild of a Listed derelict barn plus extensions. This Grade II Listed Building offers a wealth of character and once converted would offer accommodation comprising an internal design ideal for modern family living which includes open planned lounge, dining and kitchen areas along with two en-suites plus utility and cloakroom. The barn stands on a large mature plot in a pretty setting with a long drive which access is shared. The barn is in a derelict state and the renovation/rebuild project would not be for the feint hearted, but having said that the home that could be produced from extensive building works could easily have an end of value of in excess of £1m, given its size and proximity. The rebuild includes extensions to the main barn and there is a double garage already built on site. We consider this to be a rare and valuable opportunity and would advise diligence being carried out at your earliest convenience.

  • New Primary Schools for Western Expansion Area
    ANNEX D NEW PRIMARY SCHOOLS FOR WESTERN EXPANSION AREA A Public Consultation – 4 December 2006 to 12 February 2007 Introduction The Western Expansion Area is going to be developed over the next few years as a very substantial urban addition to Milton Keynes in the area to the west of Crownhill, Fullers Slade, Grange Farm, Great Holm, Kiln Farm and Two Mile Ash and to the south of Stony Stratford. In total, there will be some 6,500 dwellings and an eventual population that could be equal to that of Stony Stratford, Wolverton and New Bradwell combined. Put another way, the plans will see the effective development of a new town of the size of Buckingham and Winslow combined. It is expected that there will be sufficient demand for school places to require four new primary schools in total as well as a new secondary school just to serve this area. This consultation is the first step on the path to establishing the first two new primary schools. The other two schools will be subject to a later consultation. What is the current provision available? Primary schools within a safe and reasonable walking distance of each of the proposed school sites are as follows. (For the purposes of this document, only schools to the west of the A5 trunk road and north of or bordering Childs Way, H6, are included.) Ashbrook School (ages 4-7, serving mainly Two Mile Ash) Christ the Sower Ecumenical Primary School (ages 3-11, serving mainly Grange Farm, Oakhill and Medbourne) Glastonbury Thorn School (ages 4-7, serving mainly Shenley Church End and southern
