The initial proposals were to extend the existing Southport seat across the county boundary into its rural hinterland within Lancashire, the commission said. I welcome this move., Burnley Liberal Democrat MP Gordon Birtwistle said: The Boundary Commissions original proposals did not fulfil their brief. If implemented, the South Ribble constituency is to be significantly scaled back in terms of geography, with Southport taking over the likes of Banks, Rufford, Hesketh Bank, and Tarleton. To the north, Hyndburn will gain the Billington area, gaining the Whalley & Painter Wood and Billington & Lango wards. I am delighted that the Boundary Commission have listened to the views of local residents and changed their plans to move areas such as Adlington and Anderton, Brinscall, Wheelton and Withnell to a newly proposed West Pennine Moors constituency.

Only for them to retreat through the county back to Scotland from Derby in Derbyshire and ultimately being defeated at the Battle of Culloden the following year. The independent body has published its initial proposals to redraw constituencies across the country to ensure that they are more equally balanced in terms of voter numbers. However, the commission said that it received a large number of objections contending that there are no community ties between these areas and Accrington. The result has been a wholesale revision of the original proposals, resulting in a boundary blueprint which largely maintains the status quo in south eastern parts of the county. Under proposals, the Chorley constituency has taken a general shift to the east when it comes to its geography. The Ribble Valley constituency could be set to lose the Whalley & Painter Wood, Billington & Lango, and East Whalley, Read & Simonstone wards to Hyndburn under the proposals.
