Notes:

1. For the years 2013-14 and 2014-15, information on the number of hours imposed was unknown for a small number of orders. The average length for these years is therefore calculated on orders where the hours imposed was known.

2. Revisions have been made to the 2015-16 and 2016-17 data have been revised from those previously published due to the receipt of updated information from some councils.
