Boundary Commission Proposals

 

The proposed changes to the parliamentary boundaries will be voted on in Westminster next Autumn although there is currently some doubt as to whether they will generate enough votes to be passed due to a withdrawal of support from the Liberal Democrats. If the proposals are accepted then wards would change from being in Hyndburn to the following:

Ribble Valley: Rishton and Great Harwood

Rossendale: Altham, Clayton Le Moors, Church, Central, St Andrews, Immanuel, St Oswalds

Burnley: Huncoat, Milnshaw, Peel, Baxenden, Barnfield, Spring Hill

The new boundaries are expected to alter the balance of votes in what are traditionally known as strong Labour areas to give better results to the Conservatives.
