[Graham Jones]

Gregs Site Gregs site has been taken down under parliamentary election rules as it is funded/hosted by Government/Parliament and therefore unfair on rival candidates. Greg did pay for the design. All the others are priviately funded privately hosted so they can stay up.

Note Boundary changes had to take place because Accrinton Central has a declining population with all the empty properties whereas Altham had grown.

With George Slynns defection in Great Harwood to the Liberal Democrats the County Council is Labour 42, Conservatives 25, Liberal Democrats 7, Greens 1, Idle Toad 1 Vacancies 2. [78]

So with a swing of 5 or 6 seats to the Conservatives Mr Britcliffe might be able to bancrupt County Hall as well Hyndburn District Council !!!
