Perhaps your memory is failing you.
1999 - Labour council tax proposal higher than Conservative
2000 - Both Same
2001 - Labour's proposal n/a
2002 - Labour council tax proposal higher than Conservative
2003 - Labour council tax proposal higher than Conservative
2004 - Labour council tax proposal higher than Conservative
2005 - Labour's proposal n/a
2006 - Conservative council tax proposal higher than Labour
2007 - Labour's proposal n/a
2008 - Conservative council tax proposal higher than Labour
2009 - Conservative council tax proposal higher than Labour
2007 no costed Labour budget was proposed and 2005/2001 there is no record of them doing so either.
That makes 3 occasions in the last 11 years where Labour have proposed a lower rise in council tax than the Conservative group.
