London's Distinctive Patterns of Deprivation
According to Richard Brown, the government's new Index of Multiple Deprivation has revealed concealed hardships in the capital.
The new English indices of deprivation provide a snapshot of poverty and deprivation across the country, and are also used in local government funding formulas.
They are also unavoidably political, as they feed into local government funding formulas.
This has led to a strange tone in the debate, with areas not wanting to be labeled as the most deprived, but also not wanting to lose out on funding.
- The composite Index of Multiple Deprivation placed eight London boroughs among the 20 per cent most deprived districts in the country.
Author's summary: London faces hidden deprivation despite funding debates.
