Parliamentary Boundary Change
My Daughter brought me a copy of the Obs this morning and I was interested in the article regarding proposed Parliamentary Boundary Changes. I appears that they want to bung Rishton, Clayton and Great Harwood, in with Blackburn
 and the Rest of Hyndburn in with Rossendale. Well to my way of thinking if they are going to do all this messing about again and the confusion it brings to the electorate(and it does) why on earth don't they go the whole hog and sort the situation out once and for all.I remember back in the 90s the was a huge debate about whether to keep a two tier system local and county or go for Unitary Authorities, in the end we stuck with the two tier system while the likes of Blackburn and Blackpool went Unitary, to me that was a big mistake. So if we are going to tinker about again why not sort it out properly and be done with it, there is already so many stupid boundary changes, like two Haslingden Wards being in the Hyndburn Constituency for General elections but Rossendale for Local and County and of Course Darwen are with Rossendale for Parliamentary and Blackburn for council its a nonsense, even in Hyndburn a section of Immanuel ward is in spring hill for country but reverts to Hyndburn for council its barmy. If we have Parliamentary constituencies which mirror Unitary councils and no county council, the general public would be aware with whats happening and it sure as hell would me that every penny of council tax payers money raised in the borough/constituency would be guaranteed to be spent in that areas, whereas only 19 pence in every pound is guaranteed at the moment

Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change
Great Harwood won't like that.
They still have hopes of leaving Hyndburn, and being tagged on as a satellite, to the Ribble Valley.

Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change
Is it true that Church will become part of the Chelsea & Kensington constituency and Ossy is going to Islamabad (south)?
