In heartbreaking findings into the cost of living crisis, people are having to eat pet food while others try to heat food on a radiator or on a candle.
But more than half of households still fall into one of the categories used to measure it, either through being out of a job or long term sick, having poor health or a disability, low level of education or living in an overcrowded or poorly heated home.
When you look closer into Census figures for local neighbourhoods, you can see those places with most households falling into all four categories.The list is topped by Mr Seed’s community – Trowbridge and a part of Rumney in the north of the city – with 29 households there classed as deprived in all four categories.
This puts it within the worst 1% of more than 7,000 similar-sized communities across England and Wales. Mr Seed added: ‘People who are in those positions of poverty would be the first to tell you that it’s not easy to have a voice, it’s not easy to have your dignity and show yourself as someone who counts and unless you do that no-one is going to listen.’
‘Buildings go up, the economy flourishes and firms move here – but there’s a gap and we’re trying to close it.’
