N.B. This profile describes the new ward, which comes into effect on 10th June 2004. The figures it contains must be regarded as provisional. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has yet to issue official and more accurate Census figures for the new wards.

Interpreting Census Statistics Please note that small figures in Census tables are liable to be amended by the ONS to preserve confidentiality. This means that totals and percentages which logically ought to be the same may in fact be different, depending what table they come from.

Useful Websites Basic Census results can be found at www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk, but these refer to pre-June 2004 wards. See also www.statistics.gov.uk and www.tameside.gov.uk For further information please contact Anne Cunningham in the Policy Unit on 0161 342 2170, or email anne.cunningham@.gov.uk All data taken from 2001 Census. Technical differences between the 1991 and 2001 Censuses make comparison difficult, and ward definitions have changed since 1991. 423 684 808 458 1466 6502 Mossley

Limiting Long-Term Illness (LLTI) As in 1991, the Census asked :- Do you have any long-term illness, health problem or disability which limits your daily activities or the work you can do ? In Mossley, 1884 persons reported an LLTI, which is 19.0% of the total population (Tameside average 20.9%).
