You could always do what a woman up Ossy told me she did with last years calendar. She said she put in the garden, and it worked a treat in scaring the cats away.

[shillelagh]

id need 2 calendars bernard ... one for the back garden one for the front garden .... mind you might scare visitors away ....ok who's going to give me their calendars ..

[shillelagh]

do you know something ... ive just thought of something else ... putting the calendars in the garden might come in handy when its election time .... i wont have anyone knocking on my door .... so there you go folks .. stick your calendars in the garden .. and you wont have anyone knocking on your door asking who you going to vote for ...

I have been on since 2002 and we have set lower council tax than Conservatives in every year except maybe 2003 IIRC.

I'm 2003 in opposition PB set it at 0% and Doug Heyes (Con Ossy) shot him down in flames for 'cheap fag packet politics'.

Perhaps your memory is failing you.

1999 - Labour council tax proposal higher than Conservative
2000 - Both Same
2001 - Labour's proposal n/a
2002 - Labour council tax proposal higher than Conservative
2003 - Labour council tax proposal higher than Conservative
2004 - Labour council tax proposal higher than Conservative
2005 - Labour's proposal n/a
2006 - Conservative council tax proposal higher than Labour
2007 - Labour's proposal n/a
2008 - Conservative council tax proposal higher than Labour
2009 - Conservative council tax proposal higher than Labour

2007 no costed Labour budget was proposed and 2005/2001 there is no record of them doing so either.

That makes 3 occasions in the last 11 years where Labour have proposed a lower rise in council tax than the Conservative group.

[cashman]

if ya read his post correctly andrew he was not refering to last 11 yrs, glad ya posted those figures cos they show 3 occasions in the LAST 4 yrs that conservatives have proposed higher, n we don't really know the other do we?

It makes Peter Britcliffe calling another councillor a silly cow, seem rather tame in comparison.

As I politely reminded you earlier, this thread isn't about the council tax per se, but the wasting of hard working resident's money on useless calendars...yet again.

As you know it is against forum rules to veer off the subject of a thread too much, and posts have indeed been deleted in the past for doing so.

Since you've ignored my advice I've kindly put the words 'Daily Telegraph' and 'council tax' in the search facility, and below have linked some of the relevant threads found, for you to further your discussion.
