Just to illustrate how Peter Britcliffe is economical with the truth (to put it politely) read this report (from Hyndburn Council's website) of the General Fund Revenue Budget 2009/10 as presented to Cabinet on Wednesday 4 February 2009. Peter Britcliffe announced to everyone present that Council Tax would rise by 3.6%, but if you read the report it shows Hyndburn's share of the Council Tax increasing by 7% (see page 38 of the report, were it itemises Hyndburn, Lancashire Police Authority, Lancashire Fire and Rescue and Lancashire County Council).

In Accrington Observer the Council Tax increase was announced as 3.6%

Council tax to rise by 3.6 per cent - News - Accrington Observer

Maybe a Tory supporter can explain why the residents of Hyndburn have been given incorrect (and misleading information).
