Vehicle barriers in Holyhead

Holyhead is the Census 2021 built-up area W45000016 in Wales. ONS counted 11,755 usual residents and a median age of 39.

The ONS size class for this settlement is Small. Largest industry groups among employed residents: Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles at 18.5%, then Human health and social work activities at 16.8%, then Accommodation and food service activities at 9%.

Wholesale and retail is the largest industry group. Private service yards and retail-park lanes can take a rising arm.

The high street itself cannot. Terraced housing leads the stock.

Street frontages are a poor place for a boom. Private yards behind that housing are the sites worth surveying.

Counts are rounded to the nearest 5 and very small cells may have been suppressed by ONS. A barrier survey is on application and only for a private lane.

This readout does not invent a business park. Other settlements with their own barrier page in Wales include Llandudno, Llanelli, Maesteg.
