The 2011 Census took place on Sunday 27 March
2011.
Every ten years the Office of National
Statistics (ONS) carries out a census to find out more about
the people who live in England and Wales.
Like all local authorities in England and Wales, North Somerset
Council relies on census population statistics to get the
government funding we need for public services such as schools,
transport, housing and health services. How much we get is
directly related to how many and what kind of people the census
says live in our area. So even if the census were to end up
just a few households short, it could make a very real difference
to people's lives.
What happens next
Initial results from the
2011 Census will be published by the Office for National
Statistics (ONS) in July 2012.
Contact
The council is working with the Office for National Statistics
(ONS) in the planning of the next census. A Census Liaison
Manager (CLM) and an Assistant Census Liaison Manager (ACLM) are
nominated by each Local Authority – these will be the main means of
communication with ONS. If you have any further queries
regarding the 2011 Census, please contact the
North
Somerset Assistant Census Liason Manager.
