I'm still confused as to how changing the name would invite more investors, etc. Would like to see the research papers which drew the council to this conclusion. If a business is looking for a new location, they surely would not search under the council's title anyway, would they ?

I always find that when people ask me where my work is based, they are more interested in the name Oswaldtwistle and how Oswald's twistle came about and ask lots of questions on the history of the town and current industries Nr. Accrington does prompt the comment more often than not of Accrington Stanley, but then there is that hint of laughter behind it .. due to the milk advert I think, and never do customers ask any more about the town.

I don't believe it will make one iota of difference to commercial enterprise, hope I am proved wrong.
