Okay, here we go.
Lancaster 99.1 Preston 98.4 Burnley 98.4 Blackburn with Darwen 98.1 Ribble Valley 97.8 South Ribble 97.8 West Lancashire 97.8 Wyre 97.8 Rossendale 97.7 Fylde 97.5 Chorley 97.4 Pendle 97.2 Blackpool 95.0 Hyndburn 93.1 Lancashire Average 97.4
I'm afraid it makes sorry reading. Hyndburn performs nearly 2% worse than any other Lancashire district. In cash terms that is around 390,000 pounds below average.
The only consolation (
) is that Hyndburn passes the cost of that appalling performance on to the government, and doesnt suffer any cash losses in the money it gets back.
