Band A has a lot to do with it. If average earnings are £17k you can't compare that with band D property which is only 7.5% of Hyndburn. You have to compare it with what's happening in reality, in that most people will be paying band A and B rates not band D.

Well you can carry on the insults... I apologise... I don't know how I ended up there because in 2006 I had the figure down as 34% from 2000.
The point remains, Council Tax is way in excess of inflation as ordinary people know inflation. Wages. Your 50% wage rise figure is wrong. The use of RPI not right.
