Re: Kenneth Hargreaves MBE RIP
I wasn't saying that everything had to be in Accrington.
The bowling green that is to be named after Ken is in Oswaldtwistle - his local area.
Does that mean that Accrington cannot have something which memorialises what Ken did for the town while he was MP.......and was it Hyndburn then......or was it Accrington??
I'm blowed if I can remember when the name Hyndburn was adopted.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
To change the name of Eastgate(which is anything but inspiring - I bet it took the developers a whole minute to think that one up) to Kenneth Hargreaves Way, would be a permanent reminder of the work this man did for our area.
