Do you think the people of Hyndburn would like to revert to being run by an Accrington Borough Council rather than Hyndburn ?

A previous administration did toy with a name change.

It would cost a lot of money, at a time we are about to see deaconian cuts.
Also, none of us use the name.
We all say we are from the respective towns that make up Hyndburn.
I have no great attachment to the name, like many others, but since I never use the it, I couldn't care less what the civic administration calls itself.
