You're entitled to your opinion Andrew but I disagree.
Most boroughs have natural geographical boundaries and quite honestly how you can see sense in two of the three Oswaldtwistle wards plus Rishton and Great Harwood seceding into Darwen is beyond me. What on Earth have we got in common with Tockholes? I'm sure Jake Berry knows as much about Netherton as I do about somewhere such as Beardwood or Wensley Fold.
Graham Jones is Accrington born and bred but it makes more sense for someone else to look after bits of Hyndburn just so that the numbers add up equally on paper? What happens when the populations shift and become unequal again?
Conservative gerrymandering and a textbook exercise in how to completely confuse the electorate.
