So far there are well over forty people who have joined the Keep Hyndburn as a Constituency group, including people from across the political divide, as well as concerned members of the public.
If Peter Britcliffe and Graham Jones are in agreement on it's importance to us as an area, you can tell how serious an issue this is.
This area will be sidelined if this proposal goes through.
As Gayle Knight posted on the Facebook page, if our constituency disappears, there's nothing to stop our borough council being similarly split up, and tagged on to neighbouring councils.
Our area will lose it's identity, and political power and leverage if this is allowed to happen.
Now, and historically we are an important part of this country, with much to offer, but also specific needs.
We need our own M.P.
If you don't want to join the Facebook group, you can still have your view offically heard by emailing the Boundary Commission.
It literally takes two minutes.
