46WAThe BBC is responsible for the administration of the free television licence scheme, and we understand that a geographical breakdown of the number of free licences issued is not available. However, we estimate that 11,980 people aged 75 years old or over (who may benefit from a free television licence) live in Warrington.
We also estimate that 5,000 people in Warrington benefit from the minimum income guarantee.
Estimates of people who may be eligible for but who have not claimed minimum income guarantee are not available below national level.
