What are your opinions about the possible merger between Hyndburn and Blackburn?
Considering the Peter Britcliffe was totally opposed to this when there was the local government review 2 years ago, I personally find his attitude hard to understand (which is how I find most of his decisions). It also poses the question, do we are council tax payers not get any say in what we would like to happen.
I know that the status quo of 2 tier government needs to be looked at, but I think a local authority for the whole of East Lancashire would be a better solution, not some bothched scheme, as the one described in the Telegraph appears to be.
