      ·       The number of council tax warrants issued per year to each bailiff, from 2010 - 2018

      ·       The recovery rate for warrants within council tax from 2010 – 2018 (i.e. # of cases paid versus # of cases returned as uncollectable)

      ·       The number of traffic warrants issued per year to each bailiff, from 2010 - 2018
