Can you explain why the figure for precept that is Hyndburn's portion of the Council Tax is 7% (a per report to Cabinet on 5 February 2009) page 38 of the following report.

The corresponding figures for the other precepts are Lancashire Police Authority ( estimated at 4%) Lanachire Fire and Rescue Service (estimated at 4.24%) and Lancashire County Council (estimated at 2.9%).
Just to prove I have my maths correct for Band A properties (other than in the parish of Altham - which sets an extra precept) the increase in the amount levied by Hyndburn will be £10.25 per annum. 2008-09 was £146.43 and it is proposed (as per this report ) for 2009*10 to be £156.58. £10.25 divided by £146.43 gives an increase of 7%.
Or can you definitely state that precept levied by Hyndburn Borough Council will be 3.6%.
