AREA AND POPULATION
Population tables are again reproduced in some detail.
Although not necessarily up-to-date they contain the most recent
information available for the Borough and it was felt appropriate to
include them in their present form to provide readily accessible
information and for purposes of comparison in subsequent reportso
Care should be exercised in comparing one table with another to
differentiate between Census figures and Registrar General's estimates.
