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.
46,788 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households26.9% · 12,585 households
Families with dependent children33.0% · 15,447 households
Other single-family households35.9% · 16,820 households
Other household types4.1% · 1,936 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.
114,219 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot6.2% · 7,125 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little9.6% · 10,990 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act84.1% · 96,104 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 ↗

All Saints’ Church, Morborne: from fragile to forever
Morborne: All Saints
£245,727
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
The project would protect All Saints’ Church, Morborne, from further damage, putting it firmly on the path to complete restoration and removal from the Heritage at Risk Register. The roof of the Grade 1-listed building has been deteriorating steadily to the point that it is no longer safe to leave unlocked for public access or to host community events. Whilst regular services continue, subject to ongoing risk assessments, the building is at risk of becoming completely unusable. Once a building falls out of use, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain and motivate the community to restore it. Action is needed now. We aim not only to secure All Saints’ future as the parish church but also to make its history, including its connections to Jamestown in the USA, accessible to everyone. These exciting plans begin with the urgent task of repairing the roof.
