Introduction

South Derbyshire is a district in the southern part of Derbyshire, characterised by a mix of rural landscapes, attractive villages, and growing suburban communities. It includes settlements such as Swadlincote, Melbourne, Repton, Willington, Hilton and Etwall, and borders Derby City, East Staffordshire, and Leicestershire.

Historically, South Derbyshire had strong industrial roots, particularly in coal mining, pottery, and clay extraction. Swadlincote was a major centre for sanitary ware and pipe production, with over 70 pottery manufacturers operating during its industrial peak. The area also contributed to the mining and manufacturing boom of the 19th and early 20th centuries. While heavy industry has declined, its legacy remains visible in local heritage sites and museums.

Today, South Derbyshire’s economy is shaped by a blend of manufacturing, engineering, logistics, and rural enterprise. Major employers include Toyota, Nestle, and JCB, alongside a growing number of small businesses and service providers. The district is also home to a large part of the National Forest, which has transformed former industrial land into green spaces, supporting tourism, recreation, and environmental regeneration. South Derbyshire is home to notable landmarks such as Calke Abbey, Elvaston Castle, Mercia Marina, Rosliston Forestry Centre and Sharpe’s Pottery Museum.

South Derbyshire has a diverse population, with a mix of long-standing rural communities and newer housing developments. The district has seen rapid population growth, particularly on the edge of Derby City and in areas like Hilton, Drakelow and Church Gresley, driven by housing expansion and proximity to major transport routes.

South Derbyshire is the fastest growing district in Derbyshire and is currently one of the fastest growing areas in England, with a 13% growth in population (2011-2021). The population is projected to increase to 123,000 by 2035. This places an increasing demand on the supply of local services in the south of the county, including schools, transport, and healthcare.

The health of people in South Derbyshire is generally better than the England average, however, it is a more mixed picture than the statistics appear to indicate as the district has some very affluent areas alongside communities such as Newhall and Stanton, Church Gresley, Woodville, Midway and Swadlincote Central which rank within the top 20% most deprived nationally.

South Derbyshire has two Primary Care Networks, Swadlincote and Derby City South. Acute care for South Derbyshire is provided outside of South Derbyshire by University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS, in Derby City and Burton-Upon-Trent.

Why is it important to Population Health?

Health inequalities in South Derbyshire are shaped by a mix of social, economic and environmental factors. These wider determinants of health influence how long people live, how healthy they are during their lives and their ability to access care and support.

South Derbyshire has the fifth highest number of households of all Derbyshire districts, 45,200. South Derbyshire has experienced the fastest population growth in the county at 13.3%, more than quadruple the Derbyshire average of 3.2%.

The average age of the population is lower compared to other Derbyshire districts with the 2021 census estimating that 29% of households have dependent children. The census also reveals that the number of all pensioner households in Derbyshire has increased by 19.6% which is above the national rise of 14%. Across the local authorities in the area, South Derbyshire has seen the largest increase (31.6%). As housing in the area is expanding, health services such as dentistry and GP surgeries are not expanding at a rate to ensure all residents have access to health care services.

South Derbyshire has the lowest level of car-less households in the county, however, due to the rural and urban geography of the district, travel time to the nearest GP in the electoral wards of Aston, Etwall and Repton is longer than the Derbyshire average.

South Derbyshire has a lower level of ‘bad’ general health compared to other Derbyshire districts. However, the percentage of physically active children and young people is significantly worse than the England average. 68.5% of adults are classified as overweight or obese and the proportion of the population meeting recommended ‘5 a day’ on a ‘usual day’ is significantly lower than the England average. Healthy eating and physical activity are paramount to maintaining good health for residents in the district.

Public Health priority indicators in South Derbyshire are:

Percentage of physically active children and young people
Proportion of the population meeting the recommended ‘5 a day’ on a ‘usual day’
Admission episodes for alcohol-related conditions
Emergency hospital admissions due to falls in people aged 65 and over
Emergency re-admissions within 30 days of discharge from hospital
Chlamydia detection rate aged 15 to 24
Breastfeeding at 6-8 weeks is lower than the Derbyshire average in the electoral wards of Swadlincote South and Swadlincote North
8.9% of mothers are known to be smokers at the time of delivery, which is similar to the England average

The Derbyshire Population Health Approach

The Derbyshire Population Health Approach focuses on prevention, population health, evidence-informed practices, causes, and collaboration. It emphasises proactive measures to prevent health issues, tailors interventions to specific populations, incorporates evidence-informed practices, addresses underlying causes, and promotes collaboration for effective action.

When considering South Derbyshire within The Derbyshire Population Health Approach:

• Prevention

The South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Group brings together partners and stakeholders to improve the health and wellbeing of communities in South Derbyshire, with a focus on reducing health inequalities, and improving healthy life expectancy.

The work of the group is underpinned by the following principles:

Strong collaboration across multiple organisations and groups and empowering local people through an asset-based approach
Add value to services and programmes aiming to improve health, both countywide and local, to maximise benefit to the local population and generate efficiency across the delivery system locally
Work to meet need across the whole population but with a specific focus on those living with the highest need
Work innovatively to develop solutions to health issues through engagement with local people
Work from a principle of maximising capacity and budget to ensure efficiency and sustainability
Work in liaison with all groups within the South Derbyshire Partnership to support the overarching vision within the Sustainable Community Strategy 2009-29
Ensure supportive evaluation across this Plan to inform future development and investment

The South Derbyshire Healthy Communities Plan is developed in partnership with the South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Group and outlines the priorities and actions for the year ahead. It supports the long-term vision of the South Derbyshire Partnership Sustainable Community Strategy, and contributes towards the five areas of focus identified in the Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2024-27.

It aims to support the strategic priorities within the Integrated Care System (Joined Up Care Derbyshire) where partners can contribute through the agendas of Prevention and Place. This Plan will work closely with South Derbyshire Place and Derby City Place to ensure maximisation of capacity and investment.

When developing the South Derbyshire Healthy Communities Plan, the Health and Wellbeing Group have also considered the needs and priorities of other South Derbyshire Partnership thematic groups, including the South Derbyshire Locality Children’s Partnership (LCP), Sustainable Development Group, and Community Safety Partnership. This ensures cross cutting themes are considered, and work is aligned across the system.

• Population

The health of the population in South Derbyshire reflects both positive trends and ongoing challenges, shaped by lifestyle factors, demographic changes, and access to services.

South Derbyshire has a relatively young and economically active population, with 81.5% of working-age residents in employment and an unemployment rate of just 3.8%, which is below the national average of 3.9%. However, the district is also experiencing demographic shifts, including a growing older population, with increasing demand for:

Preventative health services
Long-term condition management
Age-friendly infrastructure

Most residents report good or very good health, particularly in less deprived areas.

Life expectancy is slightly above the national average, but varies significantly between wards, with lower outcomes in more deprived areas like parts of Swadlincote and Newhall.

Childhood obesity rates have been rising in recent years

20.6% of reception-age children (aged 4-5) are overweight or obese
34.5% of Year 6 children (aged 10-11) are overweight or obese

• Evidence

Priorities and areas of focus are guided by data obtained from the JSNA, reviewing current initiatives taking place in the district and assessing their effectiveness, feedback from partners and community organisations and discussions with community members. This enables the Health and Wellbeing Group to understand local need, gaps in service and barriers to participation. This combined data set is used by partners to shape delivery of services and inform future spend on commissioned projects.

• Causes

Tackling health inequalities is essential to improving population health in South Derbyshire, where rural isolation, a rapidly growing population, and pockets of deprivation contribute to uneven health outcomes. Understanding how health inequalities and wider determinants of health impact upon a population’s health and wellbeing is essential to ensuring that health planning in South Derbyshire is effective in supporting people to live healthier lives.

Social and Economic Factors

South Derbyshire district enjoys a relatively strong economic position, with high levels of employment, above-average annual earnings, and generally low levels of deprivation.

Although qualification levels among the local workforce have improved over the past decade, they remain below the national average. The presence of further and higher education institutions in Swadlincote and nearby in Derby, Burton, Coalville, and Tamworth, offer opportunities to address these gaps. However, there are significant levels of poverty and deprivation particularly in parts of Swadlincote, Newhall, Stanton, Woodville, and Midway. These areas rank among the top 20% most deprived nationally according to the Index of Multiple Deprivation. Child poverty is a concern in urban pockets, driven by low household income, unemployment, and limited access to affordable childcare. Fuel poverty is also prevalent, with nearly half of homes rated EPC “D” or below, contributing to cold-related health issues and financial stress. Economic exclusion is evident through elevated rates of personal insolvency and debt, while low-paid employment and rising housing costs further compound financial insecurity.

Around 6% of residents lack internet access, with barriers including, poor broadband infrastructure in rural areas, low digital confidence, affordability of devices and data plans.

Environmental Factors

South Derbyshire is the fastest growing district in the county with an associated need for investment in infrastructure. The population is projected to increase to 123,000 by 2035 from the current 95,000. This has changed and will continue to change the landscape of the area with a growing need for accessible green spaces. South Derbyshire has 4.07 hectares of green space per 1,000 people, above the national average. However, deficiencies exist in areas like Stenson, Woodville, Midway, Repton, Melbourne and Etwall. Green spaces are vital for physical activity, mental health, biodiversity and climate resilience. Residents also value green spaces for wellbeing.

South Derbyshire has experienced several notable flood events in recent years, with increasing frequency and severity due to climate change and urban development. According to the 2025 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA), around 10% of South Derbyshire’s population lives in areas at risk of flooding, with Willington, Swarkestone, Repton, Aston ward and parts of Swadlincote most vulnerable.

Flooding can cause serious problems for people’s health, local infrastructure, and the environment. It can lead to physical health risks from dirty water, mould, and disrupted medical care, as well as mental health issues like stress and anxiety. Older adults, people with existing health conditions, and those living in disadvantaged areas are most at risk.

In relation to housing and energy efficiency, 46% of homes in South Derbyshire are rated EPC “D” or below, contributing to fuel poverty, cold-related illnesses and excess winter deaths.

The rate of statutory homelessness in South Derbyshire is similar to England, however, it is higher than the Derbyshire average.

Physical Wellbeing

Physical wellbeing in South Derbyshire is a mixed picture. While overall activity levels are at an all-time high, with many residents becoming more active, around 22% of adults - approximately 21,500 people - remain inactive. Childhood obesity is a growing concern, with 1 in 5 reception-age children (20.6%) and 1 in 3 children aged 10-11 (34.5%) classified as overweight or obese.

Many residents live with chronic health conditions including, COPD, Diabetes, Dementia and Musculoskeletal disorders. These conditions are often linked to lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor diet, alcohol use, and physical inactivity.

Social Wellbeing

Social isolation is a growing concern - particularly among older adults and those living in rural or remote areas. Contributing factors include, financial hardship and health conditions, which can make it difficult for people to access services, social activities, and support networks. Strengthening the local voluntary and community sector is essential to help residents build meaningful social connections.

• Collaboration

At the local level, efforts to reduce health inequalities in South Derbyshire are driven by a strong collaboration between the Health and Wellbeing Group, the South Derbyshire Partnership and the Local Neighbourhood Alliance, alongside other stakeholders, sectors, and communities.

Working together ensures that a shared vision and purpose exists between partners, aiding collaborative working, sharing resources and avoiding duplication of services.

The South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Group plays a central role in improving health and wellbeing across the district. The South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Group focuses on addressing local need as outlined in its Healthier Communities Plan, which prioritises:

Health inequalities between different communities are reduced by building community resilience
People are supported to move more and become more active in everyday life
People are supported to age well, including those living with dementia and other long-term conditions, and their carers
Improving emotional health and mental wellbeing
Enable children and young people to start well

These priorities guide the use of Public Health locality funding and help shape how local capacity and resources are allocated.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our partners at South Derbyshire District Council, particularly Mike Roylance, and at South Derbyshire CVS, especially Hollie Benton, for their valuable input and support in the development of the South Derbyshire Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). Their local insight, collaboration, and commitment have been instrumental in shaping a comprehensive and meaningful assessment that reflects the needs and strengths of the South Derbyshire community.¹
