Leader of the council, Coun Peter Britcliffe said the council would be working hard over the next two weeks to bring the figure under five percent and blamed (made up stories that) cuts in funding from central Government.

Could you please inform us of how much the fire authority, and police authorities part of council tax has gone up in the last 10 years? I think you'll find its a lot more than our council. As of last year Hyndburns part had gone up just 45%, much lower than the 100% national average.
You see, you should probably drop the outrageous claims you make on taxation, you're wrong. We don't have the most expensive council. Why not just find something else to trip the tories up on. Meanwhile they'll continue to deliver services at a good price.
If you want to know which are the most expensive have a look here:

Do note Hyndburn is not on the list.
