Hi all
I've worked in criminology for forty years, and I would suspect you've got it right. It's amazing how people think that the police can stop it - they can't be everywhere, but the drug pushers can!![]() True Blue Coventry Kid ![]() |

This is available as a street level Map View.
The link is centred on Coventry, but you can zoom in/out to view the whole country.

Not Local Bedworth All posts by this member | 623 of 630 Wed 23rd Oct 2019 8:07pm Member: Joined Feb 2014 Total posts:252 If the designation for my own house in Bedworth is anything to go by this is not very accurate at all. According to this I should have all sorts of people knocking on my door offering to help me escape the second level of deprivation, yet if they did call they would be disappointed to find a very ordinary 1960's development of semi detached and detached houses plus a few bungalows which are in the main occupied by owner occupiers. A friend's house in Bedworth is also shown in the second lowest level but most people would be happy to live in this 1970's development of properties in the highest price brackets for Bedworth. Perhaps someone just assumes we are bound to be deprived because we live in Bedworth? To me this questions the accuracy of the whole thing. |

PeterB Mount Nod All posts by this member | 624 of 630 Wed 23rd Oct 2019 8:35pm Member: Joined May 2014 Total posts:223 The Index of Multiple Deprivation is made up of the following components.
• Income Deprivation (22.5%)
• Employment Deprivation (22.5%)
• Education, Skills and Training Deprivation (13.5%)
• Health Deprivation and Disability (13.5%)
• Crime (9.3%)
• Barriers to Housing and Services (9.3%)
• Living Environment Deprivation (9.3%)
I was surprised that my house (Mount Nod) was shown as least deprived, it is a 1960's estate. But when you think about it the area has good schools and most people have jobs and with few pensioners we probably score well for health and we have a low crime. Income deprivation is a measure of income below the minimum. You don't get bonus points if an area has an above average income.
The only thing we are really deprived of is parking spaces.

Deprivation is not the same as insurance risk (if anything poorer neighbourhood = less expensive cars to bump into). There is obviously some zoning going on as the new Amazon warehouse is split over two zones (and nobody lives there). I reckon about 10 postcodes (~600 houses) per map zone and the zone boundaries don't always follow logical housing type boundaries.
Allesley is 6th which I found surprising. I would have thought 8-9th (loses points for ill health due to elderly population).
Peter.

You can see in the background they have added a new one 'internally' for those with restricted access inside what was the old ramp down to the old West Orchard car park.

Daftly that will leave us with a 'ramp to nowhere'. Apparently the Council don't have the funds to compulsarily purchase the jewellers underneath to resurrect the original view over Broadgate.
BTW I have just added a couple of events in the Events listing for tomorrow and Saturday if anyone is interested. |
