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.

Hyndburn 1974 Margaret. Before my time of course. The Eastgate name, I think it was the developers as you say who came up with the name.
