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.
41,053 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households30.8% · 12,664 households
Families with dependent children28.2% · 11,557 households
Other single-family households38.1% · 15,641 households
Other household types2.9% · 1,191 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.
94,390 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot9.4% · 8,891 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little11.2% · 10,541 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act79.4% · 74,958 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 ↗

Achub Ein Treftadaeth Berllan; Saving Our Orchard Heritage
The Orchard Project (Cause) Ltd
£200,643
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
Our living heritage of Welsh orchards is close to collapse. Once a defining feature of the landscape for over 1,000 years, veteran fruit trees have vanished at an alarming rate, along with once-widespread traditional skills held by a diminishing number of experts. Orchards are vital links to our past, essential cultural and natural heritage, comprising many rare, lost local fruit varieties, essential habitats for endangered species, and spaces for community wellbeing and connections through local food traditions. Achub Ein Treftadaeth Berllan will restore, improve and safeguard heritage orchards across Wales by establishing and supporting a network of 25 publicly accessible, community-led sites. We will focus on those most at risk, widening access and participation through training, volunteer development and events. By safeguarding rare varieties, rebuilding, sharing and embedding heritage skills, and celebrating orchards as assets for diverse communities, the project will secure a sustainable, long-term future for Welsh orchard heritage.
