I have said this a lot, but since councillors who actually want to be in charge of the borough don't understand, I think there is a need to say it again to you, Graham. I do wish we could just meet up, it'd be easier to teach you in person.
When will you realise that:
- We have mostly band A and band B housing in Accrington (80%).
- Naturally we have a low average wage, and people live in those band A and B houses.
- The Daily Telegraph article quotes band D (that's two to three bands higher than most residents).
The percentage of income looks high, because of reason 1, 2 and 3 combined. Namely that people don't live in band D housing. People don't pay band D prices.
Accrington is not a band D predominant area. Accrington residents do not mostly pay band D rates. Hardly any of them pay band D rates.
How do you expect people to trust you with the borough when you either,
A) Still don't have a clue what I'm on about
or
B) Still refuse to admit you're wrong and try to mislead people.
