You asked
I wanted to know if I could have any latest 16+ population estimates that you may have, or are currently working on, for the current electoral wards, as proposed by the LGBCE in England, and the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales in Wales.
Some of the existing Census 2021 data that can be queried on the Nomis website has old, out-of-date electoral wards, and also does not give any information on the ward's corresponding local authority area, ITL1 Region, or Ceremonial County.
We said
