So instead of using inaccurate information and disadvantaging my business, I decided to locate statistics and information from Swansea Council. I obtained the information under the freedom of information act 200, which gives a general right of access to all types of records held by public authorities.
I found more local information much easier by using the information booklets and reviews I was provided with than if I had used the national census. I also found more up to date statistics as the information is annually collected where as the national census is collected every ten years - the last census was in 2001 which was 3 years ago, so there is a possibility that the information it provided is now slightly out of date.
