Keeping Tabs on how Harringay is Faring

A new Civic Health report that will take the pulse of modern England and allow people to see how voting patterns, social habits and feelings of belonging vary across the country is being developed by Government.

The report which will be published next year, will collate in one place a wealth of national, regional and local data offering a unique insight into gauging the health of modern democracy and the connections people have to their communities.

People will be able to easily find out more about their areas: making it much easier to push for change, see clearly the complex factors that contribute to how people feel about and engage with their community and map and track the strength of their community against factors such as deprivation or employment levels.

Active citizens, community groups, local and national leaders will be able to see at a glance how their area compares to others on issues such as levels of volunteering, feelings of empowerment and perceptions of community cohesion. The report will set these measures in the context of other factors, such as employment and deprivation to help people build an understanding of how those factors may be affecting the civic health of their area.
