- Some preliminary analysis of selected environmental conditions provides
evidence that a higher proportion of people in the most deprived areas
in England may live in areas with multiple environmental conditions
that are in relative terms the ‘least favourable’, compared
with populations living in less deprived areas.
- Less than 0.5 per cent of populations in the least deprived areas
experience 3 or more environmental conditions that are ‘least
favourable’. This rises to around 22 per cent of populations in
the most deprived areas.
- Further work is needed. 'Environmental Equality' is a 'UK Framework
Indicator'. Its future development will need to reflect the different
needs and issues in each country of the UK.
