If it is Rawtenstall and Accrington it will be welcome news for ordinary Conservatives who will see an improvement in their chances. There are slightly more Conservatives than Labour in the Rawtenstall area. Secondly the the local Parliamentary Conservative Association will be a combination of both areas minus the Hyndburn wards lost.

So in will come Gladys Sandiford and co, out will go Marlene Haworth, Brian Roberts, Peter Clarke to Blackburn.

In effect I cannot see under any circumstances the strong Conservative Ass from Rawtensall taking one blind bit of notice of Peter Britcliffe and any slight hope he had of standing again for Parliament would be dashed automatically by these new boundaries.

The real boundaries come out on September the 12th.
