I will voice my views on the government site....but it does somewhat dilute the message when all the dissent to a change is in different places. |

I just don't feel comfortable joining Facebook.....my daughter is on facebook so I have had a chance to see it in action.....and I just don't like it.......this is going to sound really daft, but I have no trust in the site.......especially after reading some of the antics that have gone on on facebook and not much seems to have been done about it......I'm talking about abusive messages on special remembrance sites....for the Welsh miners, and for young boys and girsl who have ended their own lives. If that happened on Accyweb........I would leave. I know we have our disagreements, but it feels like a 'family' disagreement....all families have them and you know that despite some harsh words you will still speak to each other. Facebook might be a useful media tool, but not for me. Thanks, but No thanks! |

That's fair enough. I'm not trying to groom you, and entice you to do something against your will. :D For me it just serves a purpose. That being just another and easy way to communicate. |

There's all sorts ot tweaking that could be done, which would leave Hyndburn as it's own consituency. Add Padiham, lose Haslingden. Anything other than split the area and be tagged on to Burnley, and Darwen. All I know is that we'll suffer as an area without a dedicated consituency. |

We can suggest which wards we want to add to Hyndburn to make it within 5% of 75,000 electors. By doing that though we have to take in wards from other proposed constituencies which has a knock on effect across the region. I think we need to go even further and draw up alternative plans for not just our area but the surrounding areas so that it all fits numbers wise. I do think we stand a better chance if we do this rather than just telling the Commission what we want and then leaving it up to them to redistribute everything, as obviously people from other areas may then object to the way they do it. I think it's important to not start getting political about it either. The Commission are independent; the re-drawing happens every so often to make things fairer and this time it's also partly a result of the expenses scandal. In my opinion it's crucial that the local parties work together on this, along with their colleagues from elsewhere in the region. If we can get all parties to push in the same direction it will be a far more powerful argument. |

A political graduate, working in Westminster, keen interest in local government, and strong ties to your home town in Hyndburn. Use your knowledge to help this area keeps it's own M.P. What's heartening, despite the odd spat, is that there's more or less political unity opposing this proposal that our constituency disappears. Tell people how best to make their views known, and what to do to help them carry more weight. We're relying on your help. |

They seem to have accepted Hyndburn as a consituency will disappear, and are trying to push themselves off to the Ribble Valley. Great Harwood petition bid over new boundaries (From Lancashire Telegraph) Other than that, across the political spectrum, most people are against the plan to split us, and tag us on to neighboring constituencies. |
Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change
You can submit comments online but you can also do it in person. The nearest Public Hearing is going to be in Preston on 24th and 25th October.
If we can come up with a unified response to the proposals then I would urge as many people as possible to register to speak at the hearing. We do need to have a solid drawn up alternative that takes into account the knock on effects though. Every constituency must total +/- 5% of 75,000. You can register at Register interest to speak. |
