I agree with everything you said Graham except the 10% council tax rise.

It might be a 10% rise in what Hyndburn get but not on our overall council tax bill, the majority of which Hyndburn does not get and LCC, fire and police do.

Was that a mistake or using statistics to make the governments idea look much worse for the residents of Hyndburn?

What would be the real figure 2% or 3%.

Whatever the figure is we dont need it as there is nothing wrong with the current collections.

I would prefer the money was spent making recycling easier by have mixed recycling and sorted after collection like in the Ribble Valley I linked to above. If they can do it are they smarter than HBC.
