To my mind it's a question of practicality. It costs money and since townships evolve all the time this will end up being a neverending exercise under the excuse of political balance and even numbers. Under the proposed changes Rishton, Great Harwood and St Oswalds will move into Blackburn parliamentary territory whilst remaining under the remit of Hyndburn Borough Council.
People won't like it, it just doesn't make sense to keep messing about with boundaries.
