He said Firmus were extending the existing 2 year capped tariff price for domestic customers for another 12 months and that a 10% reduction would be extended to top tier commercial customers, which equated to a 6% reduction in annual gas bills capped until January 2009. He added there were also proven environmental benefits from using gas through reduced carbon emissions. Mr Prentice thanked Council for converting to gas at the Roe Valley Leisure Centre and in Council offices and said the service was expected to be connected in 4 to 6 weeks time.

  • BASELINE REPORT Social Wellbeing February 2017
    BASELINE REPORT Social Wellbeing February 2017 Love Living Please Note Some of the data in this document is sourced from sample survey data. Data from a sample survey means that the whole population of Northern Ireland has not been asked. Therefore, when looking at the figures, the confidence intervals/ranges associated with the figures should be noted. A confidence interval represents the range of values in which the true population value is likely to lie. It is based on the sample estimate and the confidence level. Example: For example, the employment rate for Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council in 2015 was estimated to be 70.7%. This figure had a stated 95% confidence interval of +/- 5.8 percentage points. This means that we would expect that in 95% of samples, the true employment rate for 2015 for Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council was between 64.9% and 76.5%. Also, due to some of the small numbers presented in some of the sub-categories, some caution should be taken when interpreting the figures. Analysis by Local Government District In most of the datasets used, individual records are attributed to Local Government Districts on the basis of their postcode. However, in some cases the postcode may be missing/invalid and cannot be assigned to a Local Government District but are included in the Northern Ireland totals. As an example, in the School Leavers data (Department of Education), approximately 0.6% of pupils have incomplete or missing postcode information. Therefore, the sum of the School Leavers in each of the Local Government Districts in 2014/15 is 22,224 pupils.
