He was a very well respected man...by people of all political shades...because he did what was right for the town...regardless of other considerations.

Surly Ken was the mayor and MP for Hyndburn and therefore naming something in Oswaldtwistle, which IS part of Hyndburn, is fitting. He lived in Oswaldtwistle and went to church in Oswaldtwistle. As Accrington is only one part of Hyndburn why should he have something name after him in Accrington.
