Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2008 – Housing domain - "with Aberystwyth Canol/Central being ranked 1 out of 1896. This position is likely a reflection of older housing stock, and there are a number of other adjacent also ranked in the top 30 most deprived, including Aberystwyth Rheidol 1, ranked 10, Aberystwyth Gogledd/North, ranked 26, and Aberystwyth Penparcau 1, ranked 28."

Do you think this is a priority?
