This is a quote form the minutes of clayton and Altham area Council meeting on 25/7/2007. - 'That the proposal to change the name of the Borough to Accrington and District, would provide a platform from which Accrington and the townships could promote their own idenities.'

I fail to see why we need to change the name of the Borough to do this - the old UDC's + the parish of Altham could still do this within the current name of Hyndburn. Why is the name of Accrington so special. has it got 'magical' properties that will make everything perfect so we will all live happily ever after.
