I have failed to make council tax banding interesting in what must be the 10th explanation. :D In my defence, I have just sat through 5 hours of student council which I can assure you is much, much worse. |

Re: Should Graham Jones resign? 'labour group leader'
Rindi, why are people still questioning it then?
Anyway I don't think anyone is going to change their mind now. I've put out why I think the figures are inaccurate and hence why I think it was wrong of Labour to use it. Graham has decided not to respond to any of the questions so all we know is that he believes that Its in the Telegraph so it must be right. I guess i'll end my partition in the discussion now. Thanks for having the debate with me people. |

The only person questioning anyone is you, of Graham Jones. It's been very clear from the off that you didn't agree with how the calculations, which named Hyndburn as having the most expensive council tax in the U.K., were worked out. |

Also, you can assume that there are other councils in the country with a similar make up of housing. Therefore, if we were to compare direct like with like with councils of a similar standing then the figures are acceptable. Quote:

Re: Should Graham Jones resign? 'labour group leader'
So I've actually been forced to read the Daily Telegraph - look what you're making me do!
And I found this information about how the Telegraph had come by their figures. Council Tax: Band D Council Tax data for the year 2008/9 has been analysed and a star has been awarded to local authorities who have the lowest total council tax charge (i.e. including all precepts) i.e. the least expensive 25 per cent. The council tax data has been provided by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) from the CIPFA Council Tax Demands and Precept Statistics. Key measures: Band D Council Tax for 2008/9 Increase in Band D Council Tax over the past year Increase in Band D Council Tax over the last 10 years The Council Tax Collection Rate - i.e. proportion of total council tax demands collected So basically Cyfr - you're actually saying that not only is Graham Jones wrong for using the figures, the Telegraph is wrong for printing them and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy is wrong for working out their figures in the first place. That's a lot of people with a lot of experience that you're calling liers! |
Re: Should Graham Jones resign? 'labour group leader'
This council tax thing has become very imotive, It appears Cllr Jones ain't going to answer Cyfr, Plus the fact of the matter is that if council tax HAS gone up by 45%, you've got to remember that in the same time span the share of the council tax set by Labour at county hall has risen by 95%, plus the fact that County account for over 80% of council tax raised. Right, now I'm going back to sleep:D
