FOI Request - Community Payback Hours Over Past Three Years

Request 101003662729

1.  The total number of Community Payback Hours imposed, completed, and remaining to be completed within your local authority area. For timescale, I am interested from the beginning of this financial year (2024/25) to present.

2.  If the above categories of information could also be retrospectively provided for the last two financial years (2022/23, 2023/24) this would greatly appreciated, however I appreciate not all LA system(s) allow for such information to be continuously held.
