Part 1: Key findings
3
Key findings (1) – quality of life
The Quality of Life Survey findings point to a number of important differences between liveability and satisfaction in Carlisle and in Cumbria as a whole. An important factor underlying these differences is likely to be the urban make-up of the Carlisle district, in contrast with the more rural nature of many other parts of the County.
Levels of satisfaction with the local area are relatively high in Carlisle, with 84% of residents saying they are satisfied.
However, people living in Carlisle are less satisfied with their local area than those in Cumbria overall (70% net satisfied in Carlisle, compared with 79% in Cumbria) and are more likely to say the area has got worse in recent years.
While Carlisle residents are broadly in line with those in the County as a whole on key health indicators, they are more likely to smoke than are residents Cumbria-wide.
4
Key findings (2) – crime and safety
Concern about crime is more widespread in Carlisle than it is in Cumbria overall. A higher proportion of negative comments about the local area from Carlisle residents relate to crime issues than is the case for residents County-wide.
Carlisle residents are more likely to be worried about being a victim of crime and less likely to feel safe outdoors after dark than are Cumbria residents generally. 34% of Carlisle residents say they feel unsafe outside after dark, which compares with around three in ten people nationally (British Crime Survey 2005/6).
Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is a key concern for Carlisle residents, as it is for those in Cumbria overall – and most do not feel well informed about what is being done to combat it.
5
Key findings (3) - participation
A strong sense of community cohesion is evident in Carlisle, as it is in Cumbria generally – more than half of residents say they feel they belong to their community, although those in Carlisle are less likely to feel they belong and less likely to say they trust most people locally than Cumbria residents overall are. Half of residents believe people in their neighbourhood are able to influence local decision-making by working together.
Many Carlisle residents are keen to have more of a say in Council decisions, with a third giving this view, compared to around one in five residents nationally (source: Ipsos MORI research for the DCLG). It should be noted, however, that previous Ipsos MORI research has shown residents tend to ‘overclaim’ in terms of their actual willingness to get involved.
6
Key findings (4) - liveability
In terms of what makes an area a good place to live, a low level of crime is seen as more important in Carlisle than in Cumbria overall, while health services are seen as less important. The concern with crime is likely to reflect the urban make-up of Carlisle when compared with many other parts of the County.
Liveability issues such as clean streets are an important driver of Carlisle residents’ satisfaction with the local area – as they are for Cumbria residents overall. Litter, dog fouling, and pavements blocked by parked cars are particular concerns for people in Carlisle and may be priorities for the Council to address.
7
Key findings (5) – service delivery
Carlisle residents’ top priorities for improvement in their local area are activities for teenagers, traffic congestion and road and pavement repairs. While traffic congestion is cited by a higher proportion of Carlisle residents as in need of improvement than by residents in Cumbria overall, other issues – housing, wage levels and the cost of living, public transport and job prospects - are seen as less in need of improvement.
Broadly speaking, residents think service delivery in the local area is good. Satisfaction with a number of local services and facilities – the opportunities for adult education, bus services, leisure facilities for young people, the availability and quality of dentists and public toilets - is higher among users of these services in Carlisle than it is in Cumbria overall.
Satisfaction with certain services and facilities, however – children’s playgrounds and play areas, libraries, hospitals, train services and social services – is lower among users of these services resident in Carlisle than in Cumbria overall.
8
Interpretation of the data
A sample, not the entire population of Carlisle, has returned a survey questionnaire. All results are therefore subject to sampling tolerances, and not all differences between percentages are statistically significant. As a guide, when comparing Cumbria against the districts there needs to be a difference of 6 percentage points for that difference to be statistically significant.
Data have been weighted to the known demographic profile of the area from the 2001 Census and to account for relative differences in the population size of districts.
Where percentages do not sum to 100, this may be due to computer rounding, the exclusion of ‘don’t know’ categories, or it being possible to give multiple answers to that question.
In this headline report, reference is made to ‘net’ figures. This represents the balance of opinion on attitudinal questions, and provides a useful means of comparing the results for number variables. For example, if 40% of residents are satisfied and 25% dissatisfied, the ‘net satisfaction’ figure is +15 points.
Caution should be taken when making comparisons with national data such as the British Crime Survey due to the different methodologies used.
