I noticed you've voted in favour of the name change Ian. Could I ask as to your reason's. Not being (too) nosey, just interested as to your thinking, and your arrivial at that decision.

I did not want Hyndburn when they changed it in the first instance, just call me old fashioned Gary, Ossy's Ossy snuffy Ha'rrod is Gt harwood, Church is etc etc, all shoud have their own unique identity and be proud of it. People who live in all the distict Boroughs/Parishes are all different.
To be honest Gary I'd forgot i'd voted, but I would prefer a referendum, That would be fairer than Peter's' choice, in other words 'Hobsons choice'.
The name we had did us since Accrington was incorporated as a Borough about 1870/80 Quite a big deal in those days becoming a town.
