The above figures reflect the individual residents who have taken a test at Chester in each year. Where someone has used the test centre in more than one year, they will be counted in each of those years.

The number of individuals is based on the number of unique driver licence numbers. If someone has been issued with a new driver licence number, for example if they have changed their name, both driver licence numbers will be counted.
