Home ownership and renting

Housing tenure shows how households in this constituency described their home at the most recent census.

43,489 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners67.9% · 29,534 households
Private renters18.9% · 8,228 households
Social renters11.9% · 5,163 households
Other tenure1.3% · 564 households

“Other tenure” combines shared ownership and households recorded as living rent free.

Housing-tenure figures come from the most recent census: 2021 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2022 in Scotland. View housing-tenure source ↗

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.

43,489 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households28.9% · 12,583 households
Families with dependent children30.7% · 13,331 households
Other single-family households35.4% · 15,386 households
Other household types5.0% · 2,189 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.

106,107 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot5.2% · 5,533 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little8.4% · 8,869 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act86.4% · 91,705 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 ↗

Developing a Place-led Transformation at Brooklands Museum

Brooklands Museum Trust Limited

£194,500

The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage

About this award

Brooklands is the world's first purpose-built motor racing circuit, a Scheduled Monument on Historic England's Heritage At Risk Register, and one of Britain's most significant sites of twentieth-century innovation and technological achievement. This project lays the foundations for a step-change in how Brooklands Museum conserves, presents and shares this extraordinary heritage by developing plans to deliver the ambition to become a nationally recognised ‘Museum of Speed and Flight’. The project will commission specialist support to inform conservation work on the scheduled monument, plan for the decarbonisation of the site and produce a people-first site-wide masterplan and interpretive strategy which places the track and Brookland’s stories at the heart of a reimagined visitor journey. The result will be a pragmatic, phased and fully costed strategy — grounded in conservation responsibility, shaped by audience insight, and designed to grow visits, deepen engagement and build long-term financial resilience.
