I agree that a referendum would please most people, but if it held at some time other than May 1st (which is the date of the elections to HBC) the cost will be quite expensive.
If a decision had been been taken tonight the name of the borough would have remained as Hyndburn - which would have put a stop to all this 'nonsense' - (for want of a better word). And everyone could then get with trying to get investment etc into the borough and concentrating on delivering front line services, rather than spending such disproportionate amount of time concentrating on the name change.
