Andrew, Church is
not a village it is a town - prior to 1974 it was an UDC, as were Great Harwood, Oswaldtwistle, Rishton and Clayton-le-Moors. Altham was a parish and formed part of Burnley Rural District Council and Accrington was a municipal borough.
Many of the residents of Church are heartedly sick of its status being dumbed down by Hyndburn Borough Council, especially as it is far older and more historic than most other parts of the Borough of Hyndburn.
By ignoring Church (and Altham) Karen Buckley is disregarding (and being disrespectful about) the 2 oldest and historic parts of the borough.
