I think the figure was 80% so if my maths is right that'll leave, let see 20%.
So plenty of room for your mother (87) in these stats'
I know people who live down the bay and how do I put this...
If you want your kids to go to a good school then you pick a Welsh language/Religous school in a suburb as the demographic in the few primary/secondary schools in the bay has been skewed in the last 5 years to those born outside the UK.
Hence older people are leaving the Bay and willing to pay way over the odds for housing near good schools.
Accommodation in the Bay has in no way kept up with prices in the suburbs.
When Adventurers Wharf was built it did have one of the highest price tags around, £500k which was 2/3 times a family home in the suburbs.
10 years later they are the same price while suburbs have caught up. same is true for Lloyd George avenue, they are now cheap flats, relatively speaking.
