% of people who think the NDC has Improved the Area

Outcome

By 2011, we aim to increase the proportion of respondents who think the NDC has improved the area by 30 percentage points (from 26% in 2002 to 56% in 2011)

Milestones

By 2008, we aim to increase the proportion of respondents who think the NDC has improved the area by 25 percentage points from 26% in 2002 to 51% in 2008

Progress, MORI data:

Doncaster NDC did not achieve its milestone in 2008, missing it by 2 percentage points (49% as opposed to the target of 51%)

Between 2002 and 2008, the gap between Doncaster NDC and the NDC Aggregate widened by 5 percentage points.

Improvements of 29 percentage points for the NDC Aggregate were recorded for the period 2002 to 2008, whereas Doncaster NDC only improved by 23 percentage points over the same period.

Nevertheless, Doncaster NDC was only 7 percentage points short of achieving its 2011 target of 56% in 2008 (49%).

The progress data is sourced from the Ipsos MORI Household Surveys conducted every 2 years between 2002 and 2008. No survey was undertaken in 2010.

FLAG Statistics

FLAG statistics consist of (F)ly tipping (L)itter, (A)bandoned Cars and (G)raffiti incidences. We consider that these factors do influence how people feel about their physical area so we have considered this data in this context. The data spans the period April ’06 to March ’10, is sourced from Doncaster Council and compares Doncaster Borough with the Doncaster NDC Total and sub-areas.

Key findings for the NDC sub areas were:

  • Town Centre improved the most for incidences of Fly Tipping (from 375 to 77 equating to 79.5% drop) and Litter (from 69 to 35 equating to a 49.3% drop)
  • Woodfield improved the most for incidences of Abandoned Vehicles (from 11 to 5 equating to a 54.5% drop, although it is small numbers)
  • Netherhall improved the most for incidences of Graffiti (from 96 to 57 equating to a 40.6% drop)

Key finding for the total NDC area:

  • Across each of the FLAG categories, Doncaster NDC improved over the period. Incidences for Fly tipping dropped by 40.3%, Litter by 13.2%, Abandoned Vehicles by 4.1% and Graffiti by 16.3%
