The Locality covered by this contract has high deprivation in the area and Locality is very culturally diverse, with a range of BAME communities and other hard to reach groups- including Travellers, the Homeless and Sex Workers.  The Locality also provides for the needs of Asylum seekers who are accommodated in centralised areas around the centre of the city.
