No, the BBC and national statistics websites. One example is my mum, a nurse, her pay has risen 51% in that time period
Anyone who was on the minimum wage in 1999 will be earning at least 50% more now, and they will be earning 60% more in October.
That isn't my main point however, my main point is that on average other councils have raised tax by 50% more than what Hyndburn residents are paying.
