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%

Maybe a Tory supporter can explain why the residents of Hyndburn have been given incorrect (and misleading information). |
How many dire warnings dished out on the current ecomic siuation are being taken notice of?
18 months ago the rate paid to savers was in the region of 6%...The Pound was 1.42 against the Euro.
20,000 people went bankrupt in the last three months of last year...Add that to the 20.000 the people they employed...and I would say many did.
The banks having conned billions out of the government are not lending but considering huge bonuses to the dick heads who failed.
Where are we going?
The polls are suggesting yet again that the New Labour Government have gone 'Tits Up'.
I remember Maggie Thatcher and what she was responsible for but there are quite a few on here who remember what Harold Wilson was responsible for and this bunch of nerds are following in the same footsteps.
