How to read these estimates

The standard postcode headcounts and the commissioned age table are separate ONS outputs. Small counts are disclosure-controlled, and totals can differ slightly between tables. Coverage is England and Wales only.

Census Day: 21 March 2021. Sources: ONS/Nomis P001-P004 and ONS CT21_0228. Age table version 2024-04-08.

Fixed broadband coverage

The median Ofcom availability percentage across 75 current postcode units in this district. Each postcode is weighted equally, not by premises.

Superfast, 30 Mbit/s+: 100%
Ultrafast, 100 Mbit/s+: 100%
Ultrafast, 300 Mbit/s+: 100%
Gigabit-capable: 100%

Unable to receive decent fixed or FWA broadband: 0%
Next Generation Access: 100%
Decent broadband available from fixed wireless: 0%

61 postcode units had 100% superfast coverage, 58 had 100% gigabit-capable coverage, and 0 had at least some premises without decent fixed or fixed-wireless access.

Coverage is a modelled postcode-level snapshot, not a speed test or a guarantee for a named property. Check availability with providers before making a decision. Ofcom does not publish postcode-level full-fibre coverage in this release for commercial-confidentiality reasons.
