Nothing will change, that's the whole point. We aren't going back to pre-1974 days, with each town having it's own independent urban council. All power will remain with the muppets at the Town Hall/Scaitcliffe House.
The only thing that they want to change, at some significant cost, is the political name of the borough, from Hyndburn to the parochial sounding Accrington and Districts.
When will they get it into their heads that none of us use the bloody name Hyndburn????
We say we are from Accy/Ossy/Rishton/Harwood etc.
The only people this change will benefit is the leader of the council and the mayor. Who apparently get all teary and hurt, at fancy royal bun fights, when asked to explain where Hyndburn is. They are the only two people who have to use the bloody name outside of the district.
