Census of Population 1961 GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND Census of Population 1961 COUNTY AND COUNTY BOROUGH OF LONDONDERRY Printed and presented pursuant to 9 Eliz. 2, Chap. 8 BELFAST: HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE PRICE 17s. 6d. NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND GENERAL REGISTER OFFICE Census of Population 1961 COUNTY AND COUNTY BOROUGH OF LONDONDERRY Printed and presented pursuant to 9 Eliz. 2, Chap. 8 BELFAST: HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1964 INTRODUCTION In accordance with the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1960, a Census of the population was taken on the 23rd April, 196ly which was also the date of Censuses in the other parts of the United Kingdom. It was the fourth since the establisiixnent of the Government of Northern Ireland, previous Censuses having been taken in 1926, 1957 and 1951. The 1961 Census was much fuller,/as regards the number and scope of the questions, than any of its predeces£i<>rs. Compared with the 1951 enumeration, the basic questions were much the same /but enquiries about nationality, education, occupation and employment were sul9'6tantially modified. New questions asked for information concerning persons wi/th certain scientific and technological qualifica­ tions, the number of children of/women who were or had been married, the type of accommodation occupied by priva]tie households, whether such accommodation was owned or rented and the extent to which piped water, cooking and toilet facilities were available, i ' / In November, 1961, a Preliminary Report was published giving population figures for each county, county boro'ugh and administrative area, together with information on the ages and religious,denominations of the people by counties and county boroughs, and the numbers of private dwellings and households in each administrative area. A new Topographical Index, replacing the edition issued in the series of Reports on the 1926 Census, was published in January, 1963. This Report is the sixth of seven county volumes to be published on the 1961 Census. The statistics therein supersede those in the Preliminary Report and may be accepted as final. It is generally consistent in design and scope with the Reports already published for Belfast County Borough and Counties Antrim, Armagh, Downcmd Fermanagh, and the remaining county volume will be in similar form. Although details of population and habitable buildings in respect of townlands in rural districts are not given in the county volumes, the figures, for which a charge may be made depending on the extent of the information required, are available on application to the General Register Office. A General Report will follow the county volumes. It will siommarize for the whole country the information in the county volumes and, in some respects, deal vd th it in greater detail. The General Report will also contain certain additional information, Including that on persons with scientific and technological qualifica-- tions, which has not been analysed on a county basis. There will be a separate Report on the Fertility of Marriage. General Register Office, Fermanagh House, Ormeau Avenue, BELFAST, 2. March, 1964.

Foreshore is excluded. Acreages of areas covered by the larger rivers, lak!es and tideways are also excluded from the body of Tables 4 and 5, but the total i^ given in a footnote thereto. ' / POPULATION The 1961 Census population comprises all living persons, irrespective of their usual address or nationality/,' who spent Census night in the area of enumeration. Members of the Armed Force^s^ (including those of Commonwealth and foreign countries except personnel aboard foreign naval vessels) are included. Persons travelling on Census night were.^numerated with the population of the district in which they arrived the next day unless they had already been enumerated elsewhere. Persons on vessels at moorings or anchorage in Northern Ireland waters or aboard ships on coastwise voyage to Northern Ireland ports were counted as part of the population of the district containing the mooring, anchorage or arrival, port. Except where otherwise stated, figures quoted in respect of previous Censuses relate to areas as constituted at the respective Census dates. It should be noted that there were no changes, affecting Census statistics, in the constitution or boundaries of administrative areas in the County or of wards in the County Borough during the last intercensal period. ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS The County is divided into seven administrative areas - one municipal borough, two urban districts and four rural districts. Not being divided into wards, the entire municipal borough and each urban district form the territorial units for local council elections. In rural districts, the units are the district electoral divisions of which there are 83. The County is also divided into nineteen county electoral divisions which are the units for county council election purposes. The County Borough comprises three wards, each of which is a unit for borough council elections. There are five parliamentary constituencies for elections to the Northern Ireland Parliament, three being wholly in the County and two partly in the County and partly in the County Borough. Excluding Magherafelt Rural District (which is combined with part of County Tyrone to form the Mid-Ulster constituency), the County and County Borough together form one constituency for elections to the United Kingdom Parliament.

This should include a description of the target area you are seeking to serve within the advertised licence area, and also any areas you are aiming to serve outside the advertised licence area for this small-scale radio multiplex service. (You may refer to your coverage prediction in the response you provide): Derry is the second largest city in Northern Ireland, characterised by its distinctively hilly topography. The River Foyle forms a deep valley as it flows through the city, which presents challenges for radio transmission whilst also explaining our choice of name for the multiplex. Derry Urban Area (DUA), includes the city and the neighbouring towns of Culmore, Newbuildings and Strathfoyle. On census day (27 March 2011) there were 81,902 people living in Derry Urban Area. This accounts for the 77.2% of the people in Ofcom’s ‘Derry/Londonderry’ Polygon area.

  • Title of Report: Strathfoyle Greenway Officer Presenting: Head of Environment Author: Greenways Development Officer 1 Purpose
    Title of Report: Officer Presenting: Strathfoyle Greenway Head of Environment Author: Greenways Development Officer 1 Purpose of Report/Recommendations 1.1 To update Members with regard to the current status of the Strathfoyle Greenway proposal. 2 Background 2.1 The Strathfoyle Greenway is a 2.7km extension of the Waterside Greenway, from Foyle Bridge to Stradowen Drive. It is on Council's capital list of projects, and is listed in the Strategic Growth Plan. It is the first project listed in the Strathfoyle and Maydown Cluster Village Plan, with the highest priority. 2.2 The project has full planning permission, secured in 2012 (A/2012/0430/F). 2.3 A Steering Group of elected representatives and community leaders meets regularly to support the development of the project. 3 Key Issues 3.1 The proposed Greenway runs parallel with the railway and passes through one area in Council control (Strathfoyle pitches and play area), three areas owned by public bodies (Gransha Estate, Oakgrove school and NIHE lands at Stradowen Drive) and one area in private ownership. 3.2 Council has previously approved the purchase of the public lands (July 2018) and this is progressing through legal services. Land and Property Services (LPS) have agreed a premium with the private landowner and a report has been prepared for Capital Review Group to seek funds for the acquisition of the final section of the Greenway. 3.3 The construction cost of the greenway is estimated at £2.68m+ VAT inclusive of capital costs, professional fees and OB. These costs are based on a Quantity Surveyor’s estimate from July 2018.
