Why would he be?

He isn't an Ossy councilor, or even one of their political poodles.

I'll take your word.

You obviously know him better than me.

Next you'll be telling us he humps your leg, and you know where he buries his bone.

Yes, you've been much happier and safer, since having that panic button installed.

Some friend.

What sort of person would remain loyal only as long as there was something in it for him? Get the kettle on.

Ah, the old chestnut about freezing council tax.

Not that he's been coerced by Mr Cameron or anything and will lose his 2.5% revenue grant if he does so. Votegrabbing by any other name, and freezing council tax doesn't actually do the borough any favours whatsoever in normal circumstances.

Roughly 75% goes to LCC straight away, another 12% goes to Fire and Police and the remainder is ours. LCC and the services will both still want an increase per year in line with inflation so it actually ends up being a drop in tax revenue for Hyndburn just to make Lord Britcliffe look like a thoroughly decent fellow. All the Area Councils got less money last year because there wasn't enough in the pot, all the departments had to make cuts too - nothing to do with 13 years of Labour, this was a Tory council.

A 2% tax rise equates to about 70-80p per household per month across the board. It's not popular to raise taxes but unfortunately it isn't in the borough's interests to freeze them too long.

Um got me scratching my head their Ken council Tax frozen for the last two years, yet this year there is an underspend of £750000, if that had have been Labour think you could have called it good housekeeping, just a thought:rolleyes:;)

Just a quick glance at the figures sets me wondering if the VAT refund is in there.

It's been used in several 'positive' directions over the past 12 months although never referred to directly, inferring that the council has saved all that money on its own.

There's still bags of room for savings and has been for years, from what I can see.

Council tax (HBC precept) has risen alarmingly over the 11 year period. All squandered as well as over £100m in extra government grants for being deprived.

Never in the history of politics has so much been wasted by so few. Setting it at 0% is giving back what had been taken in earlier years.
