Nothing outrageous about it at all - Huncoat was once an indepedent town but was incorporated into the borough of Accrington in 1928. Other towns incorporate surrounding towns under their name. The Metropolitan Borough of Stockport includes numerous towns such as Bramhall, Hazel Grove, Poynton and many others - I'm not aware of the residents of these towns feeling outraged.
