Pondering on this issue a little longer...

when asked, we all know where we come from. Be it Accrington, Great Harwood, Church, wherever, and we say so.

The only person who will have a problem, when asked what he does, and where he's from, is Peter Britcliffe. Who will elicit blank faces, when he tells them he is leader of Hyndburn Council. Tough.

This all seems a bit like the supposed embarrassment that councillors said they faced, when visiting councillors came to the council chambers, and the resulting expense, was to the tune of £40,000 for one room.

Most people couldn't care two hoots that we are called Hyndburn, we aren't. It's only the council who are stuck with the name.

Services, not name changes are the order of the day.
