Bengeo is the new Tibet
No, not because of the quality of the main street.
Do you want to live longer? Then the Department of Health says move to Bengeo. Well, not exactly but the new local Health Profile still makes 3 minutes interesting reading
Poke here for the[url="http://194.116.175.130/profiles/26UD-HP.pdf"] East Herts Health Profile[/url]

No doubt this'll be Raymond's main feature in The Mercury on Friday!

Interesting to note that every single ward in East Herts is defined as "least deprived"... with one exception.

I have know for ages Bengeo was good, my road in particular my parents are both 82 we have 3 neighbours of about 85, and one of 94 and quite a few other people in the road of 80 plus and 90 plus, it is the good clean air here at the top of the hill I reckon, or it could be the rays off the water tower of course.

Probably the heart exercise gained from puffing up the hill, sprinting to cross the road etc. Maybe it's just that Bengeo Stores keeps running out of fags.

Interesting that despite the Hertford night time economy, binge drinking in E Herts is not significantly different from the national average according to the report

Possibly because a significant proportion of those who use the night time economy are from outside the area.

Not all reports are correct. There have been meny reports that have proved to be wrong or overstated before.
But if this is correct, then good on all those people who have been leading a healthy lifestyle.
So that this report could be published. At least its better than always hearing how our health is getting worse, with obesity etc.

Doesn't every successful town have an increasing night time economy? We could rename Hertford St. Evanage and create an entirely shopping based centre with lots more scruffy concrete car parks. I quite like being not "deprived" and living in a town which others want to travel to and spend money after work.

.... perhaps that is that why the garage keeps running out of petrol as well then, to keep us walking and thereby promoting a healthier life style. [:D]

So we can learn from this that -
1)Dont believe everything you read in reports.
2)Deprivation is a state of mind.

I see from the report that in East Herts one in seven people are obese.
It will therefore be essential for me to ensure that henceforth I'm never seen in a group of more than six people... [:)]
