A report to councillors forecasts that 200,000 will be living in Telford and Wrekin by 2034. This came after 2021 Census figures showed a population of 185,600, an 11.4 per cent increase in the 11 years prior.
“Some of the most deprived neighbourhoods in England are a stone’s throw from some of England’s least deprived.The report was written by council officers last winter and has been put before Telford & Wrekin Council’s children and young people’s scrutiny committee who met this week. During the 2021/22 period there was an increased demand on the partnership’s multi-agency safeguarding hub Family Connect with 12,300 contacts – up from 11,000 in the previous year.
“These new arrangements replaced a single quarterly meeting that considered both adult and children safeguarding matters,” the report added. In addition a new Adult at Risk Service was launched last year which works with adults who do not meet the threshold for statutory adult safeguarding or funded adult social care.
