South Staffordshire’s Locality Profile 2017
Welcome to the 2017 Locality Profile for South Staffordshire Council. In April 2016, we launched our new Council Plan 2016-2020, which clearly sets, our ambitions over the next four years for ‘A Skilled and Prosperous District, A Safe and Sustainable District and A Connected District’. The profile has been structured around these three themes so we can ensure we can achieve our ambitions for the residents of South Staffordshire.
Whilst the Locality Profile identifies the challenges we currently face, they also highlight examples of how we have recognised new ways of working, such as the South Staffordshire Business Hub and the District Deal 2.
Our latest ‘My Place My Say’ results revealed that resident satisfaction levels remain high with South Staffordshire Council but there are still areas where we can do more to signpost information and raising what residents feel need improving with the relevant partner organisations.
The information in this profile will be the start of conversations with our public and private partners, Voluntary and Community Sector and local communities to ensure we continue to strive together to support the residents of South Staffordshire.

Key risks/challenges
and South Staffordshire The UK voted to leave the European Union on the 23rd June 2016 and South Staffordshire had a record 77.8% turnout for the EU Referendum. It was a decisive vote with Leave gaining 43,248 of the votes (64.8%) compared to Remains 23,444 (35.2%).
Theresa May has confirmed that she will trigger article 50 before the end of March 2017, setting in motion the two-year process of leaving the European Union. There are plans for a Repeal Bill that will come into effect the day after we leave the European Union.
Leaving the EU isn’t a straightforward process,
the UK is the first country to the leave the EU
and the impact of this is entirely unknown.

funds and possible replacements.

Staffordshire County Council's Insight, Planning and Performance Team have developed a local model to look at employment forecasts pre and post-Brexit. This shows that we may see an 11-21% reduction (equating to 4,400 to 8,600 fewer jobs) than the current forecast number of jobs between 2017 and 2020.
Based on the 2011 Census data around 800 South Staffordshire residents were in born in other EU Nations – equating to 0.7% of the population – lower than West Midlands (2.4%) and England (3.7%). The Census data also tells us that around 700 residents aged 16-74 from other EU countries were in employment in South Staffordshire, equivalent to 2% of our workforce, again a lower proportion than both regionally (3.1%) and nationally (4.9%).
However, since then we have seen an increase in the number of migrants from other EU countries coming to South Staffordshire. During 2015/16 the total number of national insurance number (NINo) registrations to adult overseas nationals in South Staffordshire was 150, which is a 36% increase from the previous year. The majority of these migrants were from other EU countries (130 people) and mainly from EU8 (Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia) and EU2 countries (Romania and Bulgaria).

34% of our residents would like to improve on skills that would help them in the workplace, in particular IT Skills, with residents in the 35-64 year age group listing this skill the most.
Strengths
The proportion of children in South Staffordshire who had reached a good level of development at the age of five (71%) is better than the national average.
Key Stage 2 (KS2) results for South Staffordshire pupils are similar to the England average.
The percentage of adults aged 16-64 with NVQ level 2 or above is higher than the national average, it also performs well compared to its CIPFA district comparators.

There is variation across the district with financial stress ranging from 16% in Himley & Swindon ward to 29% in Huntington & Hatherton ward.
The proportion of South Staffordshire residents aged 60 and over living in income deprived households is significantly better than the national average.
607 food businesses (94%) in South Staffordshire are broadly compliant with food safety legislation. Not every business is in the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme, but this means that of the 607 businesses that are compliant, the 476 that are in the scheme can display a rating of 3,4 or 5.

Crime Summary tables Data from August 2015-August 2016
Burglary Dwellings
Burglary dwellings have reduced over the last 12 months, however the challenge is burglary associated with commercial premises. A number of business crime initiatives are being looked at to address these types of crimes.
Violence
Violence has also seen an increase. Including in these are incidents of domestic violence, care, nursing and children’s homes and schools, threats to kill, dog bites, harassment. Ethical recording may explain some of the increases in these crime types. For example, Officers attend a DV incident where both parties alleged to have been assaulted by the other. Previously this would have been recorded as 1 crime, however with ethical recording this could be recorded as 2 crimes.
Sexual Offences
Sexual offences have seen a reduction during the last 12 months, however rape offences have increased. It has to be noted that most sexual and rape offences happen within a family or relationship setting and are often associated with Domestic Abuse. An increase shouldn’t necessarily be seen as a negative issue, it shows confidence of reporting these types of offences.
Theft from motor vehicles
Staffordshire Police are working with businesses to highlight issues in affected areas offering crime prevention advice. Initiatives have been introduced which encourage people where possible not to leave tools in their vehicles overnight. By exploring all investigative and intelligence opportunities around these incidents and ensuring they pro-actively target crime trends as they occur, with around £10,000 worth of suspected stolen power tools were recovered in January 2017 following a pro-active stop check.
Hate Crime
Hate crime is any crime that demonstrates, or is motivated by hostility towards the victim’s perceived difference. These differences include race, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, belief, visual difference and alternative (subculture).Activities classed as hate crimes include verbal abuse, graffiti, anti-social behaviour, bullying, arson, harassment, threats, physical assault, murder and threats, harassment etc. made via email or social media. South Staffordshire had 6 incidents of hate crime during Q1 & Q2 of 2016/2017.

Anti-Social BehaviourData from 5th December 2016
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB):
Anti–social behaviour is a continued focus for policing in the area; with a number of successes with use of new anti–social behaviour powers including Community Protection Notices. Staffordshire Police are working in partnership on an early intervention pilot in Locality 3 which includes holding Junior Police Cadets, education regarding anti–social behaviour and working more closely with schools and young people in the area.

Community Safety
Road Safety:
Road safety is a key concern of local communities and the figures show that collisions involving death or serious injury in South Staffordshire are the highest in the county (with an increase of 96% between 2014 and 2015 from 37 to 53).
The Community Safety Partnership will be working closely with all ages in local communities to promote safe driving on the A roads and the rural roads in the district.
Burglary:
For the 12 month period to the end of August 2016 South Staffordshire had a reported 598 burglaries, the second highest within the county. Of these offences 37% were in a dwelling with the remaining being in a building other than a dwelling including sheds and commercial premises.
Commercial burglary has a high financial impact and harm factor and South Staffordshire has a large proportion of rural businesses located in villages and farms. This type of crime has increased by 20% over the last 12 months.
Rural Crime:
Although crime is lower in rural areas (43% of all crime in South Staffordshire is reported in a rural location), the impact on local communities is high.
Communities in rural locations often lack the resource and infrastructure required to deal with the consequences of victimisation, is socially isolated and lack dedicated local provision, but rural communities can be tight-knit meaning that the impact of a crime can spread further than in a urban area, heightening the fear of crime.
Rural crime is a theme running through all aspects of the above priorities and in all plans and strategies developed the rural nature of the district will play a part.
PAGE 21
Priorities for South Staffordshire Community Safety Partnership (CSP) 2017-2020Data from August 2015-August 2016

PAGE 22
Priorities for South Staffordshire Community Safety Partnership (CSP) 2017-2020Data from August 2015-August 2016
Domestic Abuse:
South Staffordshire has seen an upward trend in reported Domestic Abuse incidents since November 2014, however the Community Safety Partnership looks on this positively, seeing it as an increased confidence in victims to report and receive the help and support they need.
For the 12 month period to the end of August 2016, there were a total of 710 domestic abuse crimes reported to Staffordshire Police. It’s estimated that approximately 45% of all domestic abuse is hidden, which is exacerbated by the rural nature of the district and the lack of transport networks.
The Community Safety partnership recognises that raising awareness of “what domestic abuse is” is essential, in a consistent and co-ordinated programme with a clear message of “how to report it”.
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB):
Even though anti-social behaviour has increased over the last 12 months (for the 12 month period to the end of August 2016) by 3.9% to 1,825 incidents, South Staffordshire has the lowest rate in the county. Youth related anti-social behaviour has been measured since May 2016 and is recorded as 25% of all anti-social behaviour reported.
The Community Safety Partnership is exploring the use of all the tools and powers available to reduce the number of incidents and has a targeted campaign to address the top 10 anti-social behaviour hotspot areas, which is flexible as required.
It is also important for South Staffordshire Community Safety Partnership to understand the impact that anti-social behaviour is having in rural parts of the district.
Violence (excluding prison violence):
Violence impacts on victims both physically and psychologically. The Community Safety Partnership wants to establish the types of violence, locations and times of when it is happening in the district.
There are certain risk factors associated with violent behaviour and the Community Safety Partnership intends to put measures in place to support victims but also to challenge offenders.

Regular and targeted enforcement work has resulted in a reduction in the number of unlicensed waste carriers operating within the district.
Joint working with the Parish Councils has seen a significant reduction in the incidents of dog fouling; Parishes undertake pavement stencilling where needed and have been supplied with a range of signs.
Changes in legislation around the collection and disposal of fridges have resulted in an increase in these items being fly-tipped.

We are currently working with nine Parish Councils to tackle and discourage unauthorised flyposting within our District. Since January 2016 we have received 45 complaints. Around 25% of the Enforcement Teams resources are spent dealing with advertisement related complaints. We have already successfully prevented some of our regular ‘repeat’ fly posters from putting up signs, particularly in the Coven and Brewood areas. Free advice is currently available to residents and businesses on different ways to advertise. We are encouraging Parishes to work with the Planning Enforcement team to remove unauthorised signs/flyposting within their own areas. This is a similar scheme where Parishes are getting involved in spraying Dog Fouling signs and litter picking within their areas.
The team will still send out correspondence and deal with any resultant prosecutions, but in effect will mean that unauthorised flyposting/signs will be removed within a shorter time limit, which will discourage further fly posters and companies and individuals benefiting from ‘ free’ advertising. It will enable Parishes to have more control over their area deal with the impact such (often repeated) signage has within their locality.

The affordability ratio measures the lower quartile house prices against lower quartile annual income, in order to assess whether people with the lowest income can afford the cheapest housing.
The latest district affordability ratio in June 2016 was 9.26, which means the lower quartile price of a house in South Staffordshire is over 9 times the annual income.

Housing Supply
Housing supply in the plan period to 31st March 2016 is made up of 3 main elements, these are dwellings already completed; dwellings under construction; and dwellings with planning permission where work has not yet begun. In addition, through its Site Allocations Document (SAD) the Council proposes to allocate land for additional housing to meet the targets in the Core Strategy.
To date the target has been exceeded by 700 dwellings. A breakdown of the different components of supply is given below by Locality:

Challenges
South Staffordshire has a higher proportion of lone pensioner households compared to the national average. Seven wards have higher proportion of households with lone pensioners: Bilbrook, Brewood and Coven, Codsall North, Kinver, Penkridge & Acton Trussell, Wombourne North & Lower Penn and Wombourne South East.
Based on data from the 2011 Census, more residents in South Staffordshire provide unpaid care compared to the England Average. This equates to around 13,500 people.

South Staffordshire Council is taking action to fi ll an anticipated fi nancial defi cit due to a continuing decrease in support from central government.
The drive to fi nd effi ciency savings and explore new ways of raising income that are not at the expense of council tax payers is the result of an effi ciency and income plan, introduced in April 2015. Its impact can already be seen in many of the Council’s procedures and day-to-day working practices and, to date, a combined income and effi ciency saving of £234,284* has been achieved.
“Local Government faces a number of challenges and this plan gives us the opportunity to deliver services in a more effi cient way,” explains Councillor Brian Edwards MBE, Leader of South Staffordshire Council. “It’s the key operational document that supports the overall delivery of the Council’s priorities and our residents and businesses, helping us achieve a skilled and prosperous, safe and sustainable, and connected district.”
The plan focuses on a combination of effi ciency measures as well as the generation of new
sources of revenue and it has resulted in new initiatives such as the creation of the South Staffordshire Business Hub. *August 2016 fi gure

Officers from South Staffordshire Council have been working with Parish Councils
to reduce dog fouling in their areas. Promotional dog fouling packs are currently
being issued to all Parish Councils and the scheme has already been successful,
with just three calls into the Council between March and June 2016 to complain
about dog fouling, compared to a total of 20 in the same period last year.
Parish Councils have also reported a drop in calls and visits from local people
about dog fouling.

3 in 10people are interested in volunteering their time during
the next 12 months (excludes support for family members).
Approaching three-quarters of residents are not interested in volunteering. Interest levels are highest amongst those who already volunteer, with just 16% of those who do not volunteer currently (other than for friends / family) expressing interest. Which suggests that the potential to expand volunteering to residents who have not done this before may be low.

South Staffordshire Community and Voluntary Action SSCVA
One of SSCVA’s key services is a locally-based volunteer centre. It has been working closely with South Staffordshire Council to promote the benefits of volunteering and increase the number of active volunteers, as these are priorities both for our organisation and in the Connected Communities strand of the new Council Plan.
SSCVA has successfully placed 35 new volunteers across these areas in the 9 months from April 2016, almost half supporting organisations working in health and care. On average we are registering 10 new volunteers monthly, but we expect this number to rise substantially over the coming months with the additional capacity-building work in the new County delivery partnership with SCVYS and Support Staffordshire.

Volunteer drivers can take residents to a wide range of destinations, with priority given to residents travelling to medical appointments and those who do not have access to or cannot use public transport. The map to the right identifies voluntary transport provision across South Staffordshire.
