No!

:eek:

I think it's bloomin' stupid Dawen's with Haslingden anyway.

Separated as they are by miles, and miles of moorland.

If Ossy joined them it'll be like the freakin' Bermuda Triangle, with a few windmills stuck in the middle.

Darren!

How shaming.

Like a long, drawn out Burnley, with a tower stuck on top.

Think I'll get a caravan, and become a traveller.

Then I can pitch up in any M.P.'s constituency I choose.

:rolleyes:

Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change

On second thoughts.

With feet in two constituent camps, so to speak.

Double the number of politicans to slag off.

Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change

Hyndburn MP Graham Jones accused the Government of 'gerrymandering' the consituency boundaries for electoral gain.

Graham, do you think this locally, or nationally?

If locally, what effect do you think the proposed changes will have for us?

Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change

I think we'll all lose out.

Having two M.P.s partly covering the one political borough.

I can't see any positives for the whole of Hyndburn, if these proposed changes go ahead.

That is something of an understatement. It's going to be a disaster - especially for Church & Ossy. We are going to be the smallest element of a multi-borough constituency whose MP will no doubt have to pander to the Darwen or Rossendale pressure. We'll be sidelined from the start.

That's a shame if it had been before the last election we could have had Karen as a "Local" candidate:D

Besides that we will still be under the same Hyndburn flag at local level, is it any wonder that the rank and file of local people haven't got a clue whats happening with politics, there is always some boffin state in a London office trying to muddy the waters
