Although unless I'm really dim, and looking in the wrong plac on the website, it doesn't have anything about where H.B.C.'s share is allocated.

It just gives an example of what share of the tax as a whole they get from a band D property.

How Council Tax is spent - About how Council Tax is spent

Yes, but what I want to see is a breakdown of what the council allocate to each area that needs funding from H.B.C.'s shares, pensions for example.

I also want to know why a Chief Executive's job, for example, should warrant a different salary depending which borough employs him?

Probably.

There doesn't seem much transparency apparent as to where the council's share of the tax goes, unless I'm being really daft and not looking in the right place.

You'd think if it was going to be sent out with the bills, the information could just as easily be posted on their website as well.

Sorry about that, but it really ought be on the councils website. I'll look into it, but I can't think why information like that isn't on the website.

The point about Chief Executives salary,the bigger the authority the bigger the salary. Hyndburn over the years has struggled to keep its top officers. We just can't compete with much bigger authorities.

If you Google 'how council tax is spent', right under the link for H.B.C. which I posted, is this site. Which makes interesting reading.

25% of council tax spent on pensions | This is Money

I want to know what percentage is spent on pensions, amongst other thigs.

Ok, that I can understand. Different sized boroughs will mean differing pay scales because there's more work involved. Makes sense.

Thanks.

I don't know whether this information will be of any help - but it is the report to Cabinet that shows the Financial postion as at the end of December 2008 for Revenue spending. (A report is produced every month at each Cabinet meeting)

http://www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk/downloa...Monitoring.pdf

There is also an appendix to the report which is a table showing spending for YTD (and for the current month - which was month 9 of the fiscal year December) and what had been budgeted (by department)

That's right, we're just a small local authority. The big unitary authorities such as Blackburn, also have education, social services , etc. So more responsibility,bigger workforce,and of course bigger budgets.
