It's important we at least fight to retain this area as a constitueny in it's own right.
We'll suffer as an area if our power is divided.

I'm quite aware of that Rindi, but with it each constituency has to have 75000 electorate with a 5% leeway, which means of us to retain the name Hyndburn there has to be additions, what they are proposing is using Hyndburn as the sacrificial lamb and carving it up to add to neighbouring constituencies, we have at all cost got to change that think by putting forward our ideas on how we can retain Hyndburn by adding to the constituency instead of the one being sacrificed
