Audit of the Local Community Updated and
Republished
A review of the Community Plan for Broxbourne
Audit Statement has now been completed and is available to
download from the related links section on the right of the
page, and at the Council’s one stop shops or by calling 01992
785592.
The audit of the area provides a single
comprehensive and wide ranging assessment of the characteristics of
the local community, and its social and economic needs. It includes
information on the local population, an economic profile of the
area, levels of local educational attainment, the relative levels
of deprivation, health and information on residents' views on
priorities for local services. The Audit helps the Council
make policy decisions. Understanding the socio-economic
climate in the Borough helps the Council and partners to allocate
resources to meet the social and economic needs of the
community.
The Borough Council would like to extend its
thanks to all agencies whose analyses of local social and economic
conditions have been incorporated in the Audit statement.
Broxbourne Community Plan 
Resource Inventory Updated
The latest Community Plan Resource
Inventory provides a summary of local services and social
infrastructure serving Broxbourne, and is a snapshot of provision
as at September 2006. Each topic shows current provision in
the Borough, and assesses issues for each service and its
priority in the Community Plan. For many topics, maps are provided
to show where services are located. It is intended that this
document will provide a resource for the public. The document will
be updated and republished regularly. It is available to
download from the related links section on the right of the
page, and at the Council’s one stop shops or by calling 01992
785592.
The resource gaps identified in the document
include:
- day nurseries for children, especially in the
south of the Borough
- lack of suitable transport to access acute
hospital services
- affordable housing
- provision of land for development for some
land uses
- out of school provision for children
- activities for young people
- hotel accommodation
- financial support for the voluntary sector
and the recruitment of
- volunteers
- community halls in Waltham Cross and West
Cheshunt
These issues were taken forward as
part of the review of the Community Plan for Broxbourne which was
published in November 2006. In many cases action is already in
progress to fill the gaps, for example a hospital shuttle bus to
Chase Farm started running in April 2007 and was extended to
serve several other hospitals in January 2008.
