I've only just got round to reading last week's Observer, and was suprised no one has commented on the fact Greg Pope wants to change the name of the constituency.

Apparently Hyndburn contains 7,000 voters in Haslingden, so he's applied to the Boundary Commission to change the name of the constituency to 'Hyndburn and Haslingden'. Which to me sounds a bit of a mouthful, and I fear people with false teeth may struggle.

Call me cynical, but I think those 7,000 people in Haslingden maybe being wooed.

All I hope is that it won't cost us a penny, and I pray to God it doesn't involve any new coat of arms.
