Key Statistics for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney May 2010 Key Statistics for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney May 2010 This paper provides key statistics under a number of topic headings for the National Assembly for Wales constituency of Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney.

The Members’ Research Service is part of the National Assembly for Wales. We provide confidential and impartial research support to the Assembly’s scrutiny and legislation committees, and to all 60 individual Assembly Members and their staff. Members’ Research Service briefings are compiled for the benefit of Assembly Members and their support staff. Authors are available to discuss the contents of these papers with Members and their staff but cannot advise members of the general public. We welcome comments on our briefings; please post or email to the addresses below.

Enquiry no: 09 / 4088 Key Statistics for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney May 2010 Rachel Dolman Paper Number: 10 / 035 Summary This profile provides a statistical overview of Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney. Detailed statistics are presented in sections one to six of the paper. Summary of results mid 2007 population estimates show that around 71,700 people live in Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney. With 442 people per square kilometre the area is more densely populated than Wales as a whole; a similar share of the population in the area (20 per cent) as in Wales (21 per cent) is of retirement age; the 2008 Annual Population Survey estimated 16 per cent of people aged 3 or more can speak Welsh, compared with 27 per cent across Wales; turn-out for the constituency ballot in the 2007 National Assembly for Wales elections was 38.9 per cent. This was below that for Wales (43.5 per cent). The winning party was Labour; in February 2010, around 7.4 per cent of the working age population in Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney were claiming Jobseeker's Allowance. The equivalent figure for Wales was 4.6 per cent. In 2008, around 67 per cent of working age adults were in employment compared with 71 per cent in Wales; 2006-08 data show the average gross weekly earnings for those working in Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney was around £441. The equivalent figure for Wales was £470; in 2007, an estimated 22 per cent of working age adults in Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney had no qualifications, this compares with 15 per cent in Wales; Welsh Health Survey results for 2003-07 showed that, around 30 per cent of adults in Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney reported that they currently smoke and 40 per cent reported drinking more than the daily guidelines on at least one day in the past week. The equivalent figures for Wales were 26 per cent and 36 per cent respectively; and the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2008 ranks specific small areas in Wales in terms of deprivation. In Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney, 32 per cent of areas fall in the 10% most deprived areas in Wales and overall the majority of its areas are more deprived than the Wales average.

It is part of a series of profiles for the Assembly constituencies and electoral regions in Wales. These profiles are based on the constituencies and electoral regions introduced for the Assembly elections in 2007, and replace the profiles published by the Member’s Research Service in March 2007. A separate profile has been produced for each constituency. Statistics for the five electoral regions have been brought together in a single paper. About the data The tables in this paper show statistics for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney along with comparable figures for the electoral region it is part of (South Wales East1) and for Wales as a whole. The information is drawn from a number of different sources. Therefore, not all information presented in the profile relates to the same time period. The time periods are shown in the tables, and details on the data sources and definitions used are provided in section 7 (Sources and notes). Results presented in this profile should not be compared with those in the 2007 profile because, although the indicators may appear to be the same, a number of the data sources and definitions used have changed. Since electoral geographies do not form a standard statistical geography, and the areas covered are small, the availability of robust data is limited. Therefore, it is not possible to include statistics on all topics of interest, for example, child poverty, those not in employment, education or training (NEETs), and social services. For the same reason, these profiles do not contain detailed commentary and charts showing trends. Many of the results are taken from surveys. Therefore, the results shown are estimates of the true value and will be subject to sampling error. Because of the small numbers of survey respondents in each constituency, many of the estimates are not robust enough to say whether the results for the constituency are statistically different from that of Wales as a whole. Due to robustness, some figures in the tables are rounded to whole numbers rather than to 1 decimal place. An electronic version of this paper is available on the Members’ Research Service pages of the National Assembly for Wales’ website. 1 The electoral region of South Wales East contains the following constituencies: Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Islwyn, Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney, Monmouth, Newport East, Newport West and Torfaen. 1 Map of Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney 2 1.

  • The Benefice of Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg
    Benefice Profile for Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg The Church in Wales Yr Eglwys yng Nghymru The Diocese of Monmouth The Benefice of Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg Benefice Profile December 2019 1 Benefice Profile for Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg From the Archdeacon of the Gwent Valleys The Venerable Sue Pinnington Thank you for taking the time to look at this profile for the post of Team Rector (Ministry Area Leader designate) of Tredegar, Rhymney and Abertysswg. This new benefice (Ministry Area) offers an exciting opportunity to develop collaborative ministry and mission. The parishes are growing closer together, realising the benefits of sharing resources, skills and the desire to grow spiritually and numerically. They would like to extend their existing mission and should the Diocesan Bid to the Church in Wales Evangelism Fund be successful, more financial support for mission will be heading to the Valleys. The Benefice has an excellent NSM Associate Minister in Elizabeth Jones and lay ministers, who are very much looking forward to working in the newly created team. The Diocese had committed to funding a 0.5 fte post of Team Vicar to serve the whole benefice, but to live in the parsonage at Rhymney. We expect the new Team Rector (TR) to take a full part in this appointment and we hope to advertise swiftly following the TR’s licensing. However, this post is not without its challenges. These are the same challenges faced by the whole of the Archdeaconry, which covers the eastern post-industrial valleys of South Wales. All our communities face issues relating to poverty and deprivation, but we work hard together to address and tackle these issues.
