date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 9 of the 22 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 13 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 9 figures, never sentences; 57 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per billing authority per band per year, each figure quoted from the authority that sets it, with the precepts separated (police, fire, parish or community council); the derived figures are the band-D spread across every UK authority, the cheapest and dearest authority for a given band, the year-on-year change per authority against the referendum principle that applied, and the England/Scotland/Wales/NI comparison a national average hides - plus the NI translation, where a capital-value poundage is converted to an annual bill and set beside a band-D council tax", "embed": "
