How this was counted
Strathmark copies Glasgow City Council's weekly lists by hand and reads every entry. Dates are the council's validated dates. A list can change after it's copied, so these are the counts on the lists as read, not an official statistic. Sorting the jobs by use is Strathmark's own judgement.
