The Council has lost 200k for concessionary travel by overpayment. Money lost. If we had watched the money carefully, we could have set a minus Council Tax.
So on balance The Council has benefited significantly from Government, this year and every year.

Yes we get it, government put money in. They haven't increased it in line with the national average though. Hyndburn just got forgotten about when they were dishing out increases it seems, so Hyndburn council itself has to make up the shortfall.
