Going by by what was spent on refurbishing Broadway as a guide, I put the figure for this name change at half a million pounds.

all those businesses ( ie sighn makers)who will benefit from this venture will be chums of the council leaders no doubt. nobody cares for the name hyndburn and hence it doesnt get mentioned. i have never in my life told anyone im from hyndburn so why spend money on this as everbody already refers to accrington as accrington. it is accrington nothing will physically change
