About the status of official statistics.

  • Boston Borough Council
  • City of York Council
  • Crawley Borough Council
  • Derbyshire Dales District Council

Please note some changes were made to the 2021/22 publication. The Licensing Authority Statistics for 2021/22 only contain statistics regarding inspections (including test purchase visits) and Local Authority Compliance Events.

We are always keen to hear how these statistics are used and would welcome your views on changes to this publication.
