Access to free-of-charge cash withdrawals

Target areas   
 

In December 2006 just over 1,700 Super Output Areas were identified as having no free cash machines and therefore priority target areas for new free-to-use ATMs if suitable sites could be found. Since then, changes to the various measures of deprivation has meant that there are now 1,694 priority target areas.  Super Output Areas are a geographic hierarchy defined by the Office of National Statistics. There are 41,766 across the whole of the UK. See www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/soa.asp.
