Section 1: Narrative overview
Village ward is located to the east of the Borough and borders the London Borough of Havering. Most of the
Ward is residential housing which comprises mainly of terraced or semi detached houses, however there are
a number of Flatted Accommodation Estates such as Ibscott Close, Millard Terrace, the Leys (Wellington
Drive and Birdbrook Close) and the high rise tower block of Thaxted House. There is also quite a lot of open
space in Village Ward such as Old Dagenham Park, the Leys, Beam Valley Country Park and the Southern
end of Eastbrookend County Park. The Mall Shopping Centre on the Heathway is also located just inside
Village Ward. The Dagenham Library and One Stop Shop is due for completion in Autumn 2010.
The current estimate population is 9,866 and will rise to 10,037 in 2016, then decrease to 9,824 by the year
2028. The 2001 Housing tenure figures show that Village ward has the highest percentage of households
that are rented from a housing association or registered social landlord and the highest percentage of
privately rented housing. The 2004 dwelling stock figures show that Village ward has the highest number of
households in the borough, which accounts for 6.3% of all the borough’s households.

coordinated, inclusive and responsive to needs. The 2009/10 ‘Locality Profiles’ are available and members
should contact the Children’s Services Policy and Partnership Team for copies if required.
Village is in South East locality
For more information on data relating to Children’s Services, please contact Meena Kishinani, Head of

Ethnic Population Estimates
Because the detailed ethnicity data from the last census will only be updated and available again in 2013, the
council has derived its own estimates from cross referencing data from the school’s census, the electoral
register and GP registration data. While not being 100% accurate, it is a considerably more up to date
picture of the local population than anything else which is available, and the margin of error is sufficiently
small to enable confidence in the broad picture it provides.

Housing tenure within Village ward
The following information has been provided by Housing Services to give a high level snapshot of housing
tenure. Census 2001 data gives a more comprehensive picture below. Clearly this is very much out of date,
but we have supplied this so that Members can see a more detailed breakdown in percentages. Once the
Census 2011 data has been collected and published, (expected 2013) information will be made available.

Section 3: Experian Mosaic Customer Profiling Information
1. Experian Mosaic Datasets
In order to achieve a better understanding of the local population in Barking and Dagenham, the council,
jointly with NHS B&D, has developed a detailed profile of the community using a produce called ‘Experian
Mosaic’. This uses a wide range of consumer data to enable a deeper understanding of the characteristics,
activities and behaviours of the local population. This data has been used to identify 8 different customer
groups: groups of people who share certain characteristics. Each group has a profile which highlights the
characteristics of the people within it, their likely service needs and how they like to be communicated with.
The LBBD Mosaic Groups are as follows:
Group Description
Group1 Younger married couples, former Council housing
Group2 Older working ages, former Council housing
Group3 Young singles and families, some ethnic minorities
Group4 Middle aged couples, middle incomes
Group5 Young couples, prosperous lifestyles
Group6 Disadvantaged families, low education attainment
Group7 Young ethnic minorities, social housing tenants
Group8 Low income pensioners, reliant on benefits
2. Breakdown of Experian Mosaic Groups in Village Ward

predominant group in

‘disadvantaged families,

by a relatively even
