Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the 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 9 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 1 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 3 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 GBP (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 11 figures, never sentences; 173 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 council, its permit fee per skip and the period it covers (per week, per calendar month, per application), the registration fee where the council runs a skip operator register, and the charge for a skip on the road without a permit, each quoted from the council's own fees page with its tariff year; the median permit fee across the councils read, and the statutory basis (Highways Act 1980 s139)
173 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
