But Accrington has still remained well known all the time it's been part of Hyndburn for the past 30 years. It didn't cease to exist. It, along with the other towns, has been an equal part of the one greater whole. Now with the change afoot the other towns get a raw deal with Accrington being named and them being mere 'and districts' - how long before the 'and district' gets dropped and the likes of Rishton and Great Harwood lose their identity as they become known as part of Accrington in much the way that Springhill and Fern Gore are?

Far fetched? I don't think so. Changing the name is the first step on a slippery slope to non-existence for the rest of Hyndburn.
