According to research by the University of Cambridge, Blackburn has the highest number of takeaways per resident than any other borough in England, in fact it has a staggering 236 takeaways (2.6 for each of the 625 people living within its central borough)*. Offering extremely cheap prices in one of the most deprived areas in the UK, it is no surprise that Blackburn’s takeaways have become a staple part of the local residents’ diet, putting them at greater risk of contracting foodborne illness. With singapore rcs data so many takeaways in business, the likelihood of residents living near (and eating at) one with a low hygiene score increases and it also becomes difficult for the local food safety teams to undertake inspections.
Again, this isn’t a particularly easy question to answer, but it’s something which I often consider. My journey into the world of geographical data was certainly the result of a series of circumstantial events. I didn’t ever have a burning desire to work in a quantitative field, but as my favourite subject at school was Geography and I was good at Maths, a career working with spatial data is actually quite logical. The proliferation of data over the past few years has led to a rise in GIS and geospatial jobs, the number of which is projected to rise by 30% by 2020 (ESRI, 2017). Thinking back, as a teenager I actually wanted to be a secondary school teacher as I thought that this was the only Geography related career there was (how wrong I was!), so without any other real plan I applied for and accepted a place studying a Geography and Education degree at University.
