Iron furnaces and forges were operating from as early as the 1400s. Between the 1700s and 1900s Pontypool thrived as a major centre for iron and tin-plated “Japanware” products and a bustling town emerged. The town had strong links to the local Hanbury family (links which remain today). The family were responsible, in the 19th century, for creating most of the town’s important civic and religious buildings, as well as Pontypool Park. Once part of Monmouthshire, Pontypool now lies within the administrative are of Torfaen. It has a catchment of approximately 40,000 people. Pontypool has lost much of its heavy industry, and has faced a growing challenge from the nearby “new town” of Cwmbran. Today, the town is known for its distinctive architectural heritage, its beautiful listed park, its Victorian market and a strong sense of community spirit.” Figure 1: Pontypool's MOSAs. Pontypool consists of 5 Medium Super Output Areas (MSOAs), Torfaen 002 -006, with 24 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) within its boundary.

Page 4 POPULATION At a glance - this page tells us about the number of people living in Pontypool, the density and the age profile. Torfaen has 39,052 households; 15759 (40.4%) of which are in Pontypool. [15] The overall estimated population of Pontypool has increased by approximately 1,000 residents from 36,000 in 2001 to 37,070 in 2014 (+3.0%), compared to Wales (+6.2%). The largest net in-flow of residents has been in Panteg 4 (+1,059), whereas the largest net out- flow has been in New Inn 3 (-209). Figure 5: Population estimates by age cohort, Males v Females, Pontypool. [4] Pontypool has the largest proportion of 40 to 49 year olds (14.0%) compared to Blaenavon (13.7%) or Cwmbran (13.3%). It also has the highest proportion of 65 to 74 year olds with 11.1%. 1 in 5 people in Trevethin are aged 0 Figure 4: Percentage change of total population from 2001 - 2014, to 10, whereas 1 in 5 people in New Inn 3 are [2] [3] Pontypool v Wales. aged 65 to 74.

The most densely populated area is Trevethin 1 having 60 persons per hectare. The settlement of Pontypool has an estimated total population of 37,072. Page 5 SOCIAL - HEALTH PART 1 At a glance - this page tells us about factors that contribute to healthy lifestyles in Pontypool. Asset-based approaches (ABA) relate more to societal culture than to systems and processes. Improving population health requires making changes in the physical, social and economic circumstances of people’s lives, not merely altering individual behaviours. Similarly ABA focus on the resources that people and communities employ to remain well and to bounce back from adversity. The framework for reporting community health assets developed by Public Health Wales covers 3 broad areas of 13 classes. People: Overall Life Satisfaction; Health and Well-being Status; Education; Material and Financial Well-being. Community: Family Cohesion and Relationships; Social Networks; Effective Services; Neighbourhood Satisfaction. Structure: Buoyant Economy; Open Environment; Built Environment; Transport and Accessibility; Corporate Health. [40] Community assets across the structural domain indicators used here are common across the North of the Borough along with community indicators to a lesser degree. However, the people asset indicators related to socio-economic conditions in certain areas of the settlement are relatively poor as the charts below show for Pontypool North and Central. Figure 7: Health asset indicator percentages for Pontypool North (Torfaen 002) and Wales. [8] Figure 8: Health asset indicator percentages for Pontypool Central (Torfaen 003) and Wales. [8] Page 6 SOCIAL - HEALTH PART 2 At a glance - this page tells us about birth rates, birth weights and immunisation rates. Immunisation rates (2013/14) The uptake rate for children’s immunisations in Pontypool North, East and South is higher than Wales for all immunisation types and ages. However, Pontypool Central and West fall below Wales for children at age 5. Live births (2012-14) The live birth rates for Pontypool Central, West and North residents (14.4, 13.1 and 12.8 respectively) are higher than Wales (11.1). Pontypool East is significantly lower at 6.2. Pontypool South follows the Wales trend. Figure 9: Live birth rate (3 yr rolling average), Pontypool MSOAs v Wales. [10] Low birthweight babies (2011-15) Figure 10: Uptake of child immunisations in Pontypool (2013/14), Pontypool v Pontypool North has the lowest published rate of low weight singleton births per 1,000 Wales. [9] population (63.5); lower than Torfaen (65.7) and Wales (68.2) based on a 5 year rolling average. This is defined as live single births whose weight is under 2500 grams (2.5 kg). Pontypool East is probably the lowest but the figures are not disclosed due to small numbers. Pontypool Central is considerably higher (99.4). Page 7 SOCIAL - HEALTH PART 3 At a glance - this page tells us about the health of people living in Pontypool life limiting illnesses and death rate. Limiting long-term illnesses (2014) A high proportion of residents have a limiting long-term illness – a rate of 25,010 per 100,000 population. This is a higher than Torfaen (24,580), considerably higher than Wales (22,715). Within Pontypool, Trevethin 1 is the highest (35,688) and New Inn 4 is the lowest (17,315). All cause death rate (2012-14) The all cause death rate in Pontypool (1090 per 100,000 population) is higher than Torfaen (1079) and Wales (1037). Trevethin 1 is the highest LSOA with a rate of 1672, being one of the top 5 in Torfaen. New Inn 3 is polar opposite with the lowest LSOA rate of 680.
