Census Day was last weekend, but it is vital those who have not yet completed theirs, do so as soon as possible.

Sunday, 21st March marked the day that millions of people across England and Wales completed key questions about themselves and their households to ensure local services in every community are informed by the best information possible.

However, for those who have not yet submitted their online or paper questionnaires or have maybe misplaced their invitation letter, there is lots of help available.

“The information you provide needs to be about who usually lives in your household on Census Day, which was Sunday March 21st, however if you’ve haven’t completed it yet, please do so – there’s still time to,” the Office for National Statistics’ deputy national statistician, Iain Bell said.

“Every household should have received their letter inviting them to take part and we’ve had a great response so far. If you haven’t, or you have misplaced your letter, you can head online to: www.census.gov.uk and request a new unique access code.

“There is plenty of help available, including face-to-face assistance at local Census Support Centres.

“Field officers will soon start calling at households who have not completed their census. They will follow social distancing and COVID-safe guidelines, supporting people to take part.

“They will be equipped with PPE and will never need to enter anyone’s home. They’ll be operating much like a postal or food delivery visit.”

The results from the census will shed light on the needs of different groups and communities, and the inequalities people are experiencing, ensuring the big decisions facing the country following the pandemic and EU exit are based on the best information possible, through the anonymous answers provided.

The ONS will never share personal details and no-one, including government bodies, will be able to identify you in census statistics. Personal census records will be kept secure for 100 years, and only then can future generations view it.

If people do not complete their census, they may have to pay a fine of up to £1,000.Lisa Wareham, Census Engagement Manager for Bath & North East Somerset said: "Thank you for everyone's participation in Census 2021 so far in Midsomer Norton and Radstock – there is still time to complete your census if not already completed and you can contact one of two Census Support Centers within Bath if you need help and support."• Moorland Road Community Library - 0792 777 7385Phone between 1 pm - 4 pm Mon - Fri for a face to face appointment or• Southdown Methodist Church - 0750 668 1894Phone between 9 am - 4.30pm Mon-Fri for telephone support or face to face appointment.
