Because the population of Accrington is only one third of the population of Hyndburn.

Yes, if it had been called Accrington and Districts 30 years ago then I'd be making the same protests now if they wanted to change it to Accrington. It is not the name that is broken and changing it won't fix all the things that are.

Two rights don't make a right.
