Whilst I appreciate that we do have a lot of Band A properties in the area, so do many other areas.
I use band A here because its most relevant to the people of the borough since some 60% of people are in band A, as opposed to 8% in band D. Using band D figures in my posts would still provide the same results in terms of the order councils appear on the first post, and the 45% increase figure. Using band D only becomes a problem when you combine it with income, due to band A housing normally having people of a lower income to say band D, thus massively misrepresenting them.
