The Changing Local Picture

Setting the Scene

Why Do We Need To Change?

What does it tell us?

• Lincolnshire is a good place to live

Although;

• High risk of flooding

• Poor quality water due to agricultural pesticides

• Generate high levels of waste per head

Changing Demography

• Fast growing population• By 2029 we will see a 32% increase in the

population figures from the 2001 census• Over 65’s will increase from 139,00 in 2007 to

192,000 in ten years and 241,000 in twenty years. East and West Lindsey, North and South Kesteven will see the largest increases in their older population.

• Those in the over 80 age group will show a consistent increase

Employment

• Low skills / low wages

• Food and farming dominate the economy

• Develop educational and employment opportunities for young people so they chose to stay

• 1 in 10 of those people educated to degree standard or above work outside of the County

Access and Housing

• Poor infrastructure which impacts on service delivery in rural areas

• Current house prices put property out of reach for low wage families

• Affordable housing

• Only 16% of new build is classed as affordable, national average is 24%

Health

• Measured in terms of mortality and morbidity

• Countywide our rates our generally good• Boston has premature death rate for men• East Lindsey death rates from diabetes

and accidents are higher than average• West Lindsey has higher than average

rate for cancer, strokes, diabetes and accidents

How will this impact on our services?

• Need to plan for the large increase in numbers of older people

• Ensure services can meet the additional demand

• Develop a better understanding of our changing population

• Address the historical funding anomalies and respond to the data on need

What do we need to do?

• Continue to improve and expand our range of services and their effectiveness
