I can see why Great Harwood would want to fall under the Ribble Valley as it's not that far away.
We're going to have another Southport debacle where they can't decide which which county it's in. Sometimes it's in West Lancashire and other times it's under Merseyside.
The answer is Rawtenstall doesn't come under Hyndburn but if boundary changes go ahead it would for parliamentary purposes only, at the moment two ward from Haslingden are included with Hyndburn for parliamentary Worsley and er (where's Jen when you need her) but they revert back to Rossendale for local and county. According to these new proposals nothing would change on that score and it would be Status Quo as far as local councils are concerned, ya your right its a bloody dogs breakfast
