Sorry John, although you make a valid point I must point out that Peter Britcliffe is doing exactly the same thing this year. His budget for 2010-2011 outlines plans to increase Hyndburn's percentage of variable rate loans from 60% to 100% during the current global economic climate, meaning that even half a percent increase will massively increase council debt. He's currently crowing about making £1.9m of savings (which he hasn't, if you look at the figures) and yet is about to saddle whoever gets control of the council next May with a collossal bill that we don't need.
Still, the public won't know any different, why not just say it's 13 years of Labour government?
