You can't dismiss the Daily Telegraph for using band D (which is what all council tax bases are expressed in). Then say it is ok to use the total council tax bill (which includes some much lower percentages) rather than being honest and admitting Hyndburn's share was in fact being increased by 7 per cent.
Or are you scared to post anything against the current Leader of Hyndburn Council- who you are at pains to tell us is democratically elected. You appear to infer that all non Conservative councillors were not democratically.

But in all fairness, people don't actually care whether LCC put their bit up by x% or Hyndburn BC by x% or the Police by x%, all anybody actually cares about is the over all percentage that they'll end up paying.
No one actually cares who gets what! So, by saying that Hyndburn BC have put the council tax by 3.6%, whilst not factually true, is what people perceive it to be and how it affects their pockets.
