Overview

Sefton is a metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England and its local authority is Sefton Council. Sefton was formed, following the Local Government Act 1972, on 1 April 1974.

Harington is one of the 22 wards that make up Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council. It is located in the centre of the Borough and covers the West of Formby and Freshfield. Harington is bordered by Ainsdale ward to the North, Ravenmeols ward to the East and South, with the River Mersey to the West.

In the ward there are:

• Three Primary Schools • Two Secondary Schools • Two General Practitioner (GP) Surgeries (as

of 2014)

;

Implications for Service Delivery

Due to the demographic makeup, lower deprivation levels and generally higher levels of health seen across the ward, demands on services will be lower than those seen across Sefton as a whole; these may increase in the foreseeable future due to an aging population. Key service demands could include:

▪ Demand on services relating to older people including adult social care and health services may be higher than average in Harington due to the older and aging population seen in the ward. There are less economically active people residing in the ward which may have an effect on the income and housing within the ward.

▪ Budgets cuts seen by both Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue coupled with the increases number of crimes reported within the ward may result in increases in demand and therefore increasing level of direct costs. Associated with these issues are also indirect costs including lowered levels of community satisfaction and wellbeing; and reduced attractiveness to encourage businesses and job creators to locate in the area.

▪ There are overall lower levels of reliance on benefits in the ward, yet changes made in the Welfare Reform Act may see increased levels of vulnerable households and widening in inequalities in households, leading to demands on services such as Food Banks, Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme, Housing Benefits, and Homeless Services.



Demographics

The latest 2015 population estimates indicate there are approximately 11,600 people living in Harington.

Overall the people of the ward tend to be older than the Sefton, Liverpool City Region, and England averages. Some 32% of the population is aged 65 and over compared to 23% in Sefton and 18% across the City Region and nationally. 4% of residents in the ward are aged 85 and over, compared to just 2% in the City Region and England.

The higher than average older person population found within the ward, may mean that there will be increased demand for services specifically from adults social care, GP and health services along with other sources of support.

Just 55% of the population are of “working age” (16 – 65) considerably lower than the comparison areas. This could mean the demand for jobs in the area will be lower than that seen across the borough, or for those out of work decrease

demand for benefit support.

The overall population in the ward has seen a 2% reduction over the last decade compared to a 1% increase seen across the Borough.

Only the older age groups within the ward have seen between 2006 and 2015 with those aged 85 and over increasing by 70% (those aged 65 and over increased by 32%).

In the last Census (2011) 96% of the population was born in the United Kingdom. With 2% of the ward population having an ethnicity recorded as Mixed Heritage, Black, Asian, or Minority

Ethnic background. The England average is approximately 15%.

Identification of international migration trends between the decennial Censuses is difficult as accurate data covering the whole population is not available. However, the National Insurance Number (NINo) registrations of adult overseas nationals entering the UK can be used to create a picture of economically active migration (see methodology section for interpretation of this data).

There have been approximately 64 NINo registrations made within Harington by overseas nationals between July 2012 and June 2016. Assuming none of those applicants moved out of the ward during the period this equates to 9 per 1,000 16 to 65 year olds living in Harington. This is considerably lower than the rate seen across Sefton as a whole (21) the Liverpool City Region (36), the North West (43), and England (77).

72% of the overseas national registrations within Harington during the period were from European countries. 34% of all European registrations originated from Italy.

Although the overall quarter numbers are low, over the time period (July 2012 to June 2016) the number of European registrations in Harington has fluctuated drastically.

Approximately 1% of the 0 – 17 year old population within the ward were known to Sefton Children’s Social care and on some form of plan (Children in Need, Child Protection or Looked After Children) at some point between April 2016 and March 2017.

Approximately 1% of the 0 – 18 year old population within the ward were known to Sefton’s Early Help service at some point between April 2016 and March 2017.

Deprivation

Deprivation within Harington is low, with some residents living in some of the least deprived areas within England. The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) measures levels of deprivation across seven domains. The higher the score the more affected or ‘deprived’ an area is.

The IMD data can be viewed at a number of different levels. The map below shows the relative level of deprivation across Sefton where the areas shaded are ‘Lower Level Super Output Areas’ (LSOA). These areas are groups of approximately 200 households - defined nationally.

Ten LSOAs make up the Harrington, eight of which fall within the bottom 20% of affected areas nationally, (one of which is in the bottom 5%). The average score across the ward has seen a decrease from 2015 to the 2010 score indicating deprivation has reduced in the area overall. However, five of the LSOAs have seen increases meaning deprivation has worsened in these areas. The average score across the ward is 6.9 compared to an average of 26.1 across Sefton as a whole.

The income deprivation affecting older people index (IDAOPI) is a supplementary index to the IMD. In general the ward is populated by some of the least income deprived older people in the

country. Eight of the LSOAs within Harington are in the bottom 20% of affected areas nationally meaning they are within some of the least affected areas in England (one of these is in the bottom 5% with another being in the bottom 1%).

The average IDAOPI score across the ward is 0.07 – lower than the Sefton 0.22 average. Overall the ward has seen an improvement in deprivation affecting older people over the five years, possibly as a result of the protection

of Pension levels over the period.

The income deprivation affecting children index (IDACI) is a supplementary index to the IMD. Like the other forms of deprivation eight LSOAs in the ward are in the bottom 20% affected areas nationally (two are in the bottom 5%). However, the average score seen in 2015 is the same as that seen in 2010 and four LSOAs have seen an increase in the IDACI score; Harington has an average IDACI score of 0.05 – again much lower than the Sefton 0.20 average.

It is estimated that in 2014 there were some 90 dependent children (aged 0-19) within Harington living in low income families. This equates to approximately 4.6% of all children in the ward. This is the same as the percentage seen in 2010 yet an increase when compared to the previous year (3.4%).

IDAOPI Score by LSOA (2015)

IDACI Score by LSOA (2015)

Harington has a low level of all deprivation types; there have been no increases when comparing current data to the 2010 results. In general the lower than average levels of deprivation, goes hand in hand with lower levels of demands for services covering all ages including children’s and adult’s social care, benefits (including out of work and housing), ‘Sefton Turnaround’ Programme, and early help, intervention, and prevention within the area.



Housing & Households

In most respects the housing make-up of the ward reflects its population of predominantly settled owner occupied households;

In the 2011 Census:

▪ 23% of households were occupied by just one person (Sefton was 32%, LCR 34%, NW 32%, and England 30%).

▪ 16% of households were occupied by someone aged 65+ living alone, similar to the Borough, yet higher than the other local and national averages. (Sefton was 16%, LCR 13%, NW 13%, and England 12%).

▪ 6% of households were occupied by a lone parent. (Sefton was 13%, LCR 14%, NW 12%, and England 11%).

▪ 90% of households had an occupancy rating of +1 or more - an indication that the households had one or more bedrooms than ‘required’. This is higher than the rates seen across the

Borough (74%), City Region (73%), Northwest (72%) and England (69%).

▪ 2% of all household tenure was local authority or social land-lord rented lower than the local and national rates (Sefton was 14%, LCR 22%, NW and England 18%). With 5% of households being privately rented properties (Sefton 13%, LCR 16%, NW 15%, and England 17%).

▪ 3% of households over 65 had a tenure category of local authority or social land-lord rented (Sefton was 14%, LCR 19%, NW 21%, and

England 19%), with a further 2% residing in privately rented properties (Sefton was 5%, LCR 4%, NW 5%, and England 4%). Meaning just 5% of households over 65 were rented properties (compared to 19% in Sefton); this will lead to minimal demands for funding should these residents move into long term residential or nursing facilities as they will have any property equity to fund their stays.

▪ 10% of households within Harington do not have access to a car or van; this is considerably lower than the comparison areas, Sefton with 28%, LCR with 34%, NW with 28% and England at 26%. The small pocket of residents with limited access to a vehicle may lead to isolation issues and a reliance on public transport and possible consequential restricted access to jobs and services.

Household Composition

The ward has a lower than average number of long-term vacant properties; with the majority of these properties being privately owned. The ward has a lower level of Council Tax discounts and receipt shortfalls.

Overall the ward contributes some 4% of all rateable dwellings in Sefton (similar to the number of households in the ward, with Harington making up 4% of all households in the Borough).

Just 2% (84 dwellings) within the ward are deemed to fall into Council Tax Band A, with the majority of households within the ward falling Tax Band D (27% / 1,352).

Of the 5,054 household dwellings within the ward subject to paying Council Tax 26% qualified for single occupancy discount (i.e. their Council Tax



liability was reduced by 25%). This equates to over £208,000 in reductions for single occupancy discounts in the ward.

It is estimated that the council tax total net liability in Harington was £8.3 million in 2016/17, during the period receipts were received of approximately £6.3m leaving an estimated ‘short fall’ of approximately £46,000 across the ward (1%).

Harington has a rate of vacant and / or void properties of 34 per 1,000 properties. The ward’s rate is lower than the average for the Borough (42 per 1000).

There were a total of 168 vacant and / or void properties in the ward as of April 2016 making up 3% of all vacant and / or void properties across Sefton.

28% of the vacant and / or void stock in the ward has been vacant and / or void for over two years.

95% of the wards vacant and / or void properties are registered as being privately owned; higher than the Borough rate of 85%.

Time Void / Vacant

As at March 2016 there was 26 development sites built or in progress in Harington, constituting of 81 dwellings none of which are intended as ‘affordable’ dwellings.

New Build Bedroom Types

There were 190 properties sold in Harington between January and December 2016, 97% were household dwellings. Of all the properties sold in the ward over half (56%) were detached properties.

30% of all properties sold in during the year were leasehold.

Average House Prices

In general all areas of Sefton have relatively low barriers to housing when compared nationally. The 2015 Index of Deprivation relating to Housing & Services shows that Harington overall has a similar level of issues in terms of housing barriers to that seen across Sefton, meaning the ward is as accessible as the Borough (the ward has an average score of 9.8 compared to 9.7 across Sefton as a whole).

Seven of LSOAs making up the ward, are in the bottom 20% of affected areas nationally, meaning that residents of the ward are living in some of the least affected areas for barriers to housing and services across England. The ward has seen overall improvement when comparing the barriers to housing and services average score in 2015 to that of 2010.

There has been some progress made in recent developments and improvement in housing stock, yet given the lower levels of vacant and poor quality accommodation and current amount of developments already in the ward there may be little opportunity for continued existing stock improvements.

Benefits & Support

In general Harington is characterised by lower than average benefits-dependent population. The population vulnerable to the vagaries of the wider economy are less likely to be vulnerable to the structural changes in benefit levels and accessibility.

There are approximately 445 working age people residing in the ward claiming benefits. This is 6% of all the working aged residents; considerably lower than Sefton (15%), LCR (17%), North West (14%) and Great Britain (15%).

However, figures for August 2016 show the total number of claimants in the ward increased by 2% compared to August 2015, compared to a reduction seen across the Borough as a whole (5%).

Of working age benefit claimants within the ward over half (54%) are in receipt of either Employment Support Allowance (ESA) or Incapacity Benefit. This has seen a 4% increase compared to the same period last year, with Sefton seeing a 2% increase.

As of January 2017 there were 7% of residents in Harington claiming Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) aged between 18 and 24 years of age.

The ward is lower than the proportion of 18 to 24 year olds claiming JSA across Sefton (9%) and LCR (10%) and on par with the North West

(11%), and England (11%).

There were 70 Universal Credit (UC) claimants in the ward in December 2016. Harington, like the comparison areas has seen an increase when compared to 2015 primarily as a result of the move from a basket of different benefits to the single Universal Credit benefit from 2014 which has not yet been completed.

The ward has a lower rate of 18 – 64 year old UC claimants than comparison areas, 1% compared to Sefton, LCR and NW all at 3% and is similar to England at 1%, but again caution should be used as the conversion rate to this single benefit will differ across areas.

There were 405 families in the ward who were out of work claiming Child Tax Credits (CTC) equating to 6% of all Sefton out of work families.

1,105 families in Harington are claiming child benefits (relating to 1,940 children). This is 4% of all families in Sefton, and 4% of all children.

In January 2017 some 130 households in the ward were claiming Housing Benefit (3% of all households in the ward as of Census 2011). This is considerably lower than the averages seen across the comparison areas with the borough having 18%, LCR with 22%, and NW with 18% and England as a whole 17%. A vast number of these households are Housing Association properties. Like the comparison areas, there has been a reduction in the number of claimants when comparing January 2017 to the same period in 2016.

Some 293 households in the ward are claiming Council Tax Reduction (6% of all rated households); considerably lower than the Sefton average of 21%. 38% of these claiming households are Housing Association properties.

Between April 2016 and March 2017 there were 11 applications to Sefton’s Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme (ELAS) by residents within Harington. This makes up 0.1% of residents aged 18 and over in the ward, much lower than the borough rate. The ward has seen a decrease in the number of applications made in 2016/17 compared to the previous year similar to the Borough as a whole. Of the applications in the ward, 36% were approved in full, with 9% being



partially approved (2016/17). The ward made up just 0.1% of all Sefton’s applicants.

Trussell Trust Food Bank data for April 2015 to March 2016 shows that 16 Harington residents were fed by a Food Bank located in Sefton, equating to 1 per 1,000 residents which is considerably lower than the Sefton rate of just 57 per 1,000.

Emergency Limited Assistance Scheme (ELAS) Applications

The Welfare Reform Act introduced major changes to the national benefits system. As of November 2016 the benefit cap on household income was reduced from £26,000 per annum to £20,000 per annum. This was in addition to the already implanted reforms of the ‘bedroom tax’ (a reduction in housing benefit for occupants of rented housing who have more rooms than they are deemed to require); and council tax reduction scheme (the personal capital limit has been reduced from £16,000 to £6,000 for council tax liability meaning unemployed working age people, 16-64, with less than £6,000 being liable to pay 20% of the annual council tax bill).

Along with the changes in limits and accessibility the way benefits are paid is also changing. Universal Credits is being introduced as a single means-tested benefit paid to people of working age replacing JSA, ESA, IS, HB, WTC and CTC. Personal Independence Payment is replacing DLA, it is a benefit for people aged 16-64 with a long-term health condition or disability that means they have trouble getting around or need help with daily living activities.

These changes in the welfare reform system are going to have varying impacts across Sefton wards.

Within Harington there is a lower than average level of reliance on benefits; the new reforms may lead to a potential reduction in household income for some of the more vulnerable residents in the ward. This could have an increased demand on other provisions including ELAS, Food Banks and homeless services. The reduction in household income may also have a knock on effect on local businesses and landlords.

Education

Given the direct correlation between deprivation levels it is unsurprising that overall Harington generally has a lower than average proportion of children with special educational needs and higher levels of attainment rates compared to the Sefton results.

The higher levels of attainment and lower levels of specialist support needed for children in the ward may present particular challenges to further improve the delivery of services and pressures on service delivery across school and educational services. The population spike seen in the demographic profile of the Borough could also add to service pressures over the medium term.

Index of Multiple Deprivation – Crime

Five of the wards LSOAs fall within the bottom 20% of affected areas nationally, with the overall score in the ward showing a reduction from 2010 to 2015, indicating that crime deprivation in the area has reduced, however five of the LSOAs have shown deterioration.

The ward has lower levels of crime and disorder; however there has been a year on year increase in the number of crimes (ASB incidents and deliberate fires in the area have reduced). Budgets cuts seen by both Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue coupled with the increases seen, may result in increases in demand and therefor increasing level of direct costs. Associated with these issues are also indirect costs including lowered levels of community satisfaction and wellbeing; and reduced attractiveness to encourage businesses and job creators to locate in the area.

MOSAIC Profile

Experian’s Mosaic Public Sector product is designed to identify groupings of consumer behaviour for households and postcodes. The methodology used is unique to Experian, and has been developed over many years to create classifications using data from a wide variety of different sources and different levels of geography.

It is designed to describe the UK population in terms of their typical demographics, social, economic, cultural, and lifestyle behaviour. The population is classified into 66 ‘Types’ that identify groups of individuals or households that are as similar as possible to each other and as different as possible from any other group. These ‘Types’ group together hierarchically into 15 ‘Groups’.

In each type there are a number of key features which make each category distinctive and are useful to bear in mind when devising communications or delivery strategies targeted at them. These are subjective and are intended to highlight key issues rather than to be comprehensive. Clearly not every one of the Borough’s 178,000 households will match exactly to just one of 66 different Mosaic Types or 15 Mosaic Groups. The description should be recognised as “generic types”, examples to which individual cases only approximate with various degrees of exactness.

Overview

There are approximately 13,800 residents living in 4,400 households across Harington. 81% of the households in the ward are classified as belonging to two of the 15 Mosaic Groups (B and F) which are generally characterised as:

▪ B – Predominantly married couples with high assets and investments, residing in high value detached homes, often supporting students and older children. Managerial or senior roles. Use the internet for shopping and banking.

▪ F – Predominantly older residents, living in their own homes, with additional pensions to that of the state. Minimal miles driven and new technology is not liked.

B 2,744 61.8% 9.5%

F 833 18.8% 14.6%



Generic MOSAIC Characteristics

The groups can be characterised further by socio-economic data within Mosaic. The groups are then ranked from 1 to 15 in terms of the predominance of the characteristic in the group.

For Harington:

Population Estimates 2015 – annual population count estimates for wards in Sefton by single year of age and sex.

NINo estimation – “The data covers adult overseas nationals entering the UK and allocated a National Insurance Number (NINo) on the National Insurance Recording & Pay As You Earn System (NPS). Allocation of a NINo includes all reasons i.e. the figures cover benefit/tax credit recipients as well as workers.

All adult overseas nationals allocated a NINo are included, regardless of their length of stay in the UK. “ https://stat-

xplore.dwp.gov.uk/webapi/jsf/dataCatalogueExplorer.xhtml

Please note that NINo data is provided by Middle Super Output Area (MSOA) which have been merged into best fit wards.

Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015 (IMD) measures levels of deprivation, across seven domains, nationally at Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) level. This provides a mean score and ranking allowing areas to be compared relatively to other areas. The IMD data is created by the Department for Communities and local Government. The higher the score the more affected the area. Sefton has 189 LSOAs as of

Census 2011. Please note that IMD data is provided by LSOAs which have been merged into best fit wards.

Experian Mosaic is a classification tool used to categorise the population according to the type of neighbourhood in which they live. It is constructed from a range of sources including the Census, consumer behaviour, financial and lifestyle factor data. It is a useful tool for gaining more in-depth insight into lifestyles and behaviour of the population. Mosaic segments the population into 15 Groups (A-O) and 66 Types.

Children Living in Low Income Families (CLIF) is defined as: Children living in families in receipt of either out of work, or tax credits whose reported income is less than 60 per cent of the median income or in receipt of IS or (Income-Based) JSA, divided by the total number of children in the area (determined by Child Benefit data) and is a proxy measure for child poverty. CLIF is a snapshot in time (31st August) of people within the area. Occupancy Rating (bedrooms) provides a measure of whether a household's accommodation is overcrowded or under occupied.

Universal Credits (UC) is a monthly payment for low income workers and those out of work. UC replaces six other benefit types (Job Seekers Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Child Tax Credits, Working Tax Credits and Housing Benefits). UC has been rolled out across England and was introduced in Sefton in June 2014. Please note that claims are per household meaning two people who resided together may claim the benefit, which will then be paid into one account. Please note that UC data is provided LSOAs which have been merged into best fit wards.

Working Tax Credits (WTC) is a benefit for working people on a low income (there are a number of stipulations which must be met to qualify for this benefit).

Child Tax Credits (CTC) is a benefit paid to parents or guardians residing with at least one child under the age of 16, it is a means tested benefit with again has specific criteria to meet before an award is made.

Child benefits is a social security payment paid to parents or guardians of children under the age of 16 or those who continue into further education until aged 18.

Housing Benefits (HB) is a means tested benefit for people on low-incomes to help pay their rent.

Council Tax Reduction (CTR) is help for people on low-incomes towards their council tax payments.

“The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth to 5 years old. All schools and Ofsted-registered early years providers must follow the EYFS, including childminders, preschools, nurseries and school reception classes.” www.foundationyears.org.uk/eyfs-statutory-framework/

“Key Stage 1 is taught during Years 1 and 2 of primary school. Targets defined in the National Curriculum are assessed at the end of each Key Stage.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/parents/national_curriculum_key_stages/

“Key Stage 2 is taught during Years 3 to 6 of primary school. Targets defined in the National Curriculum are assessed at the end of each Key Stage.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/parents/national_curriculum_key_stages/

Progress 8 and Attainment 8

“Progress 8 aims to capture the progress a pupil makes from the end of primary school to the end of secondary school. It is a type of value added measure, which means that pupils’ results are compared to the actual achievements of other pupils with the same prior attainment.

The performance measures are designed to encourage schools to offer a broad and balanced curriculum with a focus on an academic core at key stage 4, and reward schools for the teaching of all their pupils, measuring performance across 8 qualifications. Every increase in every grade a pupil achieves will attract additional points in the performance tables.

Progress 8 is calculated for individual pupils solely in order to calculate a school’s Progress 8 score, and there is no need for schools to share individual Progress 8 scores with their pupils.

Schools should continue to focus on which qualifications are most suitable for individual pupils, as the grades pupils achieve will help them reach their goals for the next stage of their education or training.

Attainment 8 measures the achievement of a pupil across 8 qualifications including mathematics (double weighted) and English (double weighted), 3 further qualifications that count in the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) measure and 3 further qualifications that can be GCSE qualifications (including EBacc subjects) or technical awards from the DfE approved list.” Https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/systemuploads/attachment_data/file/583857/Progress_8_school_performance_measure_Jan_17.pdf

Census Travel to Work data calculations were based on best-fit LSOAs as the data is not readily available at ward level.

Fly tipping is the illegal dumping of waste; items dumped can include household furniture, building material and vehicle parts.
