We said

Thank you for your request. 

Please see associated downloads 'Shepton Mallett_Population_by_age' and 'Wincanton_Population_by_age' for age and population data for each area. We have also included PDF area profiles for a 15 mile radius of Shepton Mallet and Wincanton in the associated downloads 'Shepton Mallet - Build a custom area' and 'Wincanton - Build a custom area'.

Please note, this is the most accurate data we can currently provide and these profiles were produced using the Build a Custom area profile tool in Radius Mode, set to a 15 mile radius (24.1km). 

If the age bandings are not suitable, we can look into creating a commissioned custom output. There is currently a short waiting list for the commissioned table service. Work on new requests is expected to begin in late November 2023. Please see the following webpage to download a copy of the order form which details the scale of charges for this service.

On receipt of the completed order form, they will be added to the waiting list. Please note that any table commissioned will have to pass our strict statistical disclosure control process to ensure there is no risk of disclosure of personal information in the table. More information on this process is available here: Design for Census 2021 - Office for National Statistics ons.gov.uk.
