I appreciate you pointing out I had miscalculated the %. There was a couple more errors as well. Band C is 8/9th not 6/9ths as as correctly stated lower. Don't give me maths lessons when you state 6/9s is different to 9/9ths in % increase terms. Well the Council adds 4.95% it does so across the board.
You can see how much is being wasted. It is the most expensive Council in Britain & probably the worst given it is so well funded...

Which of my figures are incorrect? I never stated that any band was different to another in terms of % increase. I always said every band has gone up 45%, which is the correct figure.
It is not the most expensive council in Britain when you actually look at the figure you quote (the 8.1%). If everyone was in a Band D and had a house over £300k and Hyndburn still had an average income of £17k then I would accept you were right, but you know that in reality this is not the case, most people live in band A and B.
My 50% figure is correct at a national level. I am not going to go into a debate about RPIvsCPI in this thread.
