They live in band A & B because we have a fairly low average salary, makes sense right? So when you compare a low average salary, from people who mainly live in band A&B, but with band D, its very, very, misleading. Therefore it was wrong for Labour to claim that we had the most expensive council tax, and its wrong of them to continue saying it. I know they want to get elected, and have good intentions, but I don't believe in lying to people.

You have missed the point. You dispute the report when it suits and happy to accept it when it suits. Presumably you have checked all 10 on your list are reported correctly ?
