To receive a presentation on the analysis of the 2010 Index of Deprivation.

Members received a presentation on the analysis of the 2010 deprivation index.  Members noted that the 2010 indices uses primarily 2008 data with the overall indices being made up of seven weighted domains.  In particular members noted that Torbay’s relative position nationally has worsened compared to 2007.  However there were improvements in relative position for rank of income/employment scales.

Agreed:

i)                    an Indices of Multiple Deprivation summary fact sheet be produced to support lobbying and funding bids;

ii)                  the TSPcommited to enabling i-bay to undertake further analysis;

iii)                relevant updated data since 2008 to be identified;

iv)                the Closing the Gap Partnership Group examine the issues being highlighted for Watcombe; and

v)                  the Safer Communities Group examine the issues being highlighted for Roundham with Hyde.
