Tackling health inequalities in Fenland (August 2009)
Fenland District Council has its own set of unique issues to deal with when catering to the needs of the local community. The sprawling rural area of Fenland has a population of just 100,000, which throws up among other things issues of isolation. There are more people over 60 in Fenland than under 18, hence the Golden Age Fairs that have helped older people access information and services since 2003. There is also a 50,000-strong Gypsy and Traveller community that has specific needs. Fenland District Council's challenge will be to respond to the diversity within the area and develop bespoke responses accordingly.
