The Least Deprived Neighbourhoods in Northumberland report illustrates how hard the Council must work to remedy problems.

 

2021 Census data shared with the public has been used to show how much deprivation or how little deprivation areas across England have within their bounds.

This data should be used by Councils to plan where society and investment in that society should be steered and funded.

The local newspaper the Northumberland Gazette ran out very well written articles which explained the census data and where both the most deprived and least deprived neighbourhoods are across the Council’s areas of responsibility. The data covers households and not people but in their latest report covering almost a third of households under the title of least deprived neighbourhoods the number of deprived home
s in those areas is staggering. 

This data does not cover the current period of crisis and raging inflation with the growing poverty and lack of reliance neighbourhoods have when exposed to long term periods of austerity, it is a snapshot in time during 2021 but the information it contains shows how hard the road ahead is for people and how much work Councils and Councillors must put in to help bolster society over the coming decade to show improvement.
