Especially notable are the <strong>in</strong>dices of multiple deprivation, which were recently<br />

updated <strong>in</strong> September 2015. All of the Growth Boroughs have seen an<br />

improvement <strong>in</strong> terms of their average deprivation score rank<strong>in</strong>g – particularly<br />

notable is that Hackney and Newham have moved out of top ten most deprived<br />

local authorities <strong>in</strong> England s<strong>in</strong>ce 2010.<br />

It is useful to look at the actual deprivation scores for the Growth Boroughs to see<br />

how the level of deprivation has changed between 2010 and 2015 rather than a<br />

measure of relativity. All of the Growth Boroughs show a reduction <strong>in</strong> deprivation<br />

except Bark<strong>in</strong>g & Dagenham, which has seen a marg<strong>in</strong>al <strong>in</strong>crease. Newham has seen<br />

the largest decrease (21 per cent) <strong>in</strong> deprivation over the 5 year period, closely<br />

followed by Greenwich, with a 20 per cent decrease (table 10.3).<br />
