alone• Broad east/west divide in deprivation levels, with extremely

high deprivation in the west and around the town centre but very low deprivation in the east

• Diverse social mix, with higher than average proportions of both low income families and successful professionals

2 Economy and Employment

15

www.walsall.gov.uk

Key Issues• Presence of Walsall town centre in the Area means a high

number of workplaces, with above borough average density. Retail sector is particularly important locally.

• Very low level of economically active adults compared with Walsall average, with especially low numbers in full time employment: 2 in 5 women and 1 in 5 men are economically inactive (i.e. out of the labour market altogether).

• Slightly higher than borough and national average levels of out of work benefit dependency.‐ ‐

• Levels of adult basic skills (literacy, numeracy and ICT) similar to borough average, but with a relatively high proportion of adults with higher level qualifications.

• Infant and perinatal mortality• Low birth weight• Childhood obesity• Unintentional and deliberate injuries in 0 5 year olds‐

5 Crime & Community Safety

43

www.walsall.gov.uk

Key Issues• Relatively high level of crime in the Area as a whole —

although crime across the borough is currently at an all time low

• Town centre is a particular hot spot for crime and anti social ‐behaviour within the Area Partnership as reflected in existence of town centre Police Priority Area.

• Theft from shops and stalls is the most commonly recorded type of crime

44

www.walsall.gov.uk

GeographyThe Area Partnership is within the South Walsall Police Sector

It is covered by the following 4 Police Neighbourhoods (which are coextensive with ward boundaries)• Paddock• Palfrey• Pleck• St Matthews

There are three areas in Walsall that have been identified as priority areas for crime and community safety issues, based on an analysis of key datasets. These areas have been identified by a range of local partnership services as they experience a relatively high number of repeat incidents that create multiple demands. Whilst short and medium term plans and activity take place, a longer term partnership wide approach is seen as necessary to resolve key issues in these areas.

Anti-Social Behaviour

The map (right) shows hotspots of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) incidents within the Area Partnership. Data includes Police reported ASB offences 1st January – 31st December 2014, along with partnership data from the ASB Unit, Beechdale, Caldmore Accord, Clean and Green, Environmental Health, Fire Service, Trading Standards, Walsall Housing Group and Watmos.

Walsall South has the highest level of ASB incidents across the borough accounting for 26.4% of all incidents. Although this AP does not have the highest rate of incidents with 91.8 ASB incidents per 1,000 residents being the third most prevalent AP but still sitting above the Walsall average of 77.5.

There are a number of prevalent areas across the AP but the main areas are the Town Centre extending into Caldmore and the border between Pleck and Birchills-Leamore.

Crime Rates

Crime across the borough has seen a slight increase of 7.6% comparing Jan13 – Dec13 against the period of Jan14 - Dec14. This was an increase of 1,205 victims of crime.

Of the six AP’s, Walsall South has the highest Total Recorded Crime with 31.4% of all offenses in the borough committed here, although this is to be expected with this area containing the town centre. There are over 25 more crimes committed per 1,000 residents than in Walsall overall (87.57 in Walsall South compared to 62.06 in Walsall). The chart above shows that rates for all crime types are above the Walsall average with particular reference to Violent Crime which sits well above the borough average.

The Top 3 issues identified in the local area in wave 36 Perception of problems:

Respondents to the feeling the difference survey conducted by bmg research on behalf of West Midlands Police were asked to identify their top three issues in their locality. The graph on the left shows the top issues identified by respondents.

• Walsall residents hold perceptions that predominantly fall in line with the Force average and there has been no significant movements since Wave 35 in any of the key indicator measures.

• There is a clear divide by Constituency, with the most positive views held by residents in Aldridge Brownhills and Walsall South, and the least in Walsall North.

• Public confidence in the police is most likely to be increased if the local police are viewed to ‘deal with things that matter to communities’, ‘be relied on to be there when needed’, and ‘work with people in the community to improve neighbourhoods’.

Understanding Confidence Intervals (CI)

Below is an explanation of charts that include 95% confidence intervals (CI) to help you understand how to interpret their meanings.

The example chart shows Respiratory mortality per 1,000 population. The results relating to the AP for which this profile relates are coloured red.

The dotted line running through the chart shows the average rate of respiratory mortality across the whole of Walsall.

The Confidence Interval symbol I represents how sure we are in the actual result within a +/- margin of error at 95% CI .1. Statistically significantly higher:If the overall CI -/+ range lies entirely above comparison average line then the result is seen as statistically significantly higher than the borough average. Example #1 North Walsall.2. Statistically significantly lower If it lies entirely below the comparison average line then the result is seen as statistically significantly lower than the borough average. Example # 2 Chuckery.3. Within normal rangeIf the CI -/+ range crosses the average line at any point then the result is not seen as statistically significant but the actual result maybe still be higher or lower than the average. Example # 3 Moxley.NB in this example a lower rate is better, in some charts a higher rate is better.
