Household composition
A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.
43,895 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households32.2% · 14,146 households
Families with dependent children23.4% · 10,284 households
Other single-family households41.4% · 18,177 households
Other household types2.9% · 1,288 households
Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗
Disability and day-to-day activities
The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
98,306 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot8.9% · 8,763 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little11.8% · 11,571 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act79.3% · 77,972 people
Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.
Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗

#LC Arnside & Silverdale Landscape Connections
Morecambe Bay Partnership
£1,024,129
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape (A&SNL) is an internationally important mosaic of habitats, supporting a rich diversity of wildlife that is under growing pressure from the effects of climate change, habitat fragmentation, and changing land management practices and visitor behaviour. At the same time, many nearby communities particularly in Morecambe and Lancaster, face social, economic, and transport barriers that prevent them from accessing and benefiting from this outstanding natural heritage. The opening of Eden Project Morecambe in 2028, is expected to attract around 500,000 visitors annually and will bring both opportunities and challenges as many new visitors will seek to explore the surrounding area. Our project will address these interconnected challenges; protecting nature, improving access, and managing visitor impacts, by strengthening our organisation, the relationships with our partners, landowners and communities to ensure A&SNL is thriving, resilient, and inclusive for generations to come. It will deliver transformational, systemic change for the future.

St Mary's - the next nine hundred years
Parochial Church Council for the Ecclesiastical Parish of the Kirkby Lonsdale Team Ministry
£370,446
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
St Mary’s, Kirkby Lonsdale, is a Grade One listed Major Church, the largest community building in our rural market town and in the heart of the Conservation Area. Dating from the early C12th, St Mary’s is listed Priority A on the Heritage at Risk Register. Through this project, we will secure St Mary for all, for all time by addressing the wet tower, leaking roof and reordering the interior to create flexible, vibrant spaces which better serves residents and visitors. We want to transform how people experience our heritage through engaging interpretation, tours of the church and tower roof-top, and reigniting cultural heritage through a new bell-ringing school. We will strengthen our role as a community hub by expanding our events programme, developing a cafe with the vocational secondary school and providing the town’s first Changing Places toilet. Environmental improvements and new income streams will ensure long-term sustainability and resilience.
