I always wondered whose that old carthorse was, stabled next to one of my polo ponys.

Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change
If it is Rawtenstall and Accrington it will be welcome news for ordinary Conservatives who will see an improvement in their chances. There are slightly more Conservatives than Labour in the Rawtenstall area. Secondly the the local Parliamentary Conservative Association will be a combination of both areas minus the Hyndburn wards lost.
So in will come Gladys Sandiford and co, out will go Marlene Haworth, Brian Roberts, Peter Clarke to Blackburn.
In effect I cannot see under any circumstances the strong Conservative Ass from Rawtensall taking one blind bit of notice of Peter Britcliffe and any slight hope he had of standing again for Parliament would be dashed automatically by these new boundaries.
The real boundaries come out on September the 12th.

Perhaps Graham can get one from the House of Commons - they chuck out office furniture when it's about a year old. He could then give it to Peter, to go with his HBC desk.

He's there for another 4 years, ain't he? Unless, of course, the Lib-Dems decide to get out of bed with the Tories.

Or they get kicked out, and they won't want that will they, its the only chance of any semblance of power they are ever likely to have or will ever have again and with Mr Ed falling all over himself to make the Tories more popular life's a bitch

Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change
RIP Hyndburn with Haslingden
The Boundary Commission this morning announced the passing away of the Hyndburn with Haslingden Constituency. There will be no funeral; instead, the body will be divided in two; the right half will become part of Dingle land and the left half will be blasted into the wildlands of somewhere called Darwen and Haslingden.
Flowers may be sent to everyone in the constituency, but especially to Graham Jones, M.P.

Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change
How often have you contacted your MP about an issue?
Most people never will so will it really make any difference to them if he/she is a little further away when they need them?
It has been mentioned on here before that we have to many MP's.
I would be more worried if they decided to get rid of HBC and move the same wards into Blackburn and Burnley.
