Rename


In June 2007, the council proposed changing the name of Hyndburn, and replace it with Accrington & Districts, to aid recognition of the borough by those not familiar with the area.[4] In December 2007, after a public consultation, the plans were stalled.[5] In May 2008, however, this plan was shelved.

There are approximately nine state secondary schools in Hyndburn. These include Norden High School, St Christopher's Church of England High School, Accrington Academy, Rhyddings Business and Enterprise School, Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School, The Hollins Technology College, along with Broadfield Specialist School, and North Cliffe School.[6]
