Re: Hyndburn to be axed.

Anyway, another thought about the cost.

They say they've put £20,000 aside for the change of signs. I would like someone to put some costs to the following items as well.

Redesigning a logo (the Hinds head will have to go)?
Designing all the crests?
Amending the council website?
Amending the council computer system?
Rebranding all the council vans and rubbish trucks?
Reprinting letterheads/compliment/council tax slips?
Reprinting all the council literature?
Legal renaming and banking changes?
Plus all the man hour to affect all the changes?

The £20k won't cover all that.

Plus, I'd be interested to know if there'll be any compensation for any groups that have taken the name. I'm a member of three community organisations that use the name.

Hyndburn Mela and Community Festival
Hyndburn Women's Forum
Hyndburn Community Network

All will have to have discussions about changing their name, then we'll have to change the banking details, reprint literature, websites, logos and letterheads. All of which costs money!

We're not the only ones it will affect, there are 100s of groups and businesses that use Hyndburn in their name.
