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.
42,775 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households28.0% · 11,981 households
Families with dependent children27.3% · 11,682 households
Other single-family households41.6% · 17,785 households
Other household types3.1% · 1,327 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.
99,351 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot6.9% · 6,807 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.7% · 10,660 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act82.4% · 81,884 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 ↗

Reimagining St Edward’s: the historic heart of Castle Donington.
The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of St Edward King & Martyr, Castle Donington
£119,794
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
The project will establish St Edward’s – an historic Grade II* listed church – as a placemaking centre for the small rural town of Castle Donington, in North Leicestershire but near to Derby. It will enable the local community to engage more fully with the life of the town, serving as a social centre and community venue. The project will establish what the community wants and what the building needs to make this possible. We will engage an Audience Consultant to establish links with local organisations and run consultation and pilot activities to explore how the historic church building can best serve the needs of local residents, including the many Derby / East Midlands Airport commuters living on recently built housing estates. We will install new heating, so that the church can be used year-round and will scope all repair and refurbishment works needed to make it fit for purpose.
