When we just had Accy, Ossy, Harwood, Rishton etc we had things named after those towns and it made sense. Ossy Mills and Ossy Civic theatre, Accrington Lions. That kind of thing.

When we were united as Hyndburn we still have Ossy Mills and Accrington Lions and they still make sense because Accy and Ossy still exist as parts of Hyndburn.

However, over the years we have also gained things named after Hyndburn - Hyndburn Comets, Hyndburn Stray Dogs In Need etc. If we lose the Hyndburn name and become "Accrington and District" ALL those names will not make a ha'porth of sense.

The change will benefit no-one.

All it will do is confuse people and cost money.
