The State of Sandwell debate 2006
This year the material to inform this debate is being delivered electronically. On this website you will find links to five pdf reports and an overview document, which set out the current state of our knowledge of the key indicators of the key delivery themes of Sandwell Council and its partners.
- Overview document
- Demographics and Liveability
- Children and Young People
- Health

- Economy and Skills
To support these reports, and to show the distribution of indicators across Sandwell, Research Sandwell have also provided a series of interactive Instant Atlas reports, which present data as linked maps, tables and charts, which can be explored interactively from the table below.
We regard Instant Atlas as a key innovation in the delivery of local area
information, and are confident that you will find it well worth taking some
time to explore the interactive reports presented here. In order to take
advantage of this facility, a once-only download and installation of the
Adobe SVG reader plug-in must be carried
out. If you use Internet Explorer as your web browser then all you need
to do is download the viewer by clicking the button to the right. 
If
you use a different type of browser you will also need to follow these instructions.
Instant Atlas will launch the profiles in a new window when selected and may take a while to load depending on your connection speed.
