Blackhall: Do we stay put or transfer into Hartlepool?

The current round of public consultation by the Boundary Commission for England (BCE) ends this coming Tuesday 3 April.

You will recall that the BCE is recommending that the villages within the Blackhall county division remain in the Easington constituency, but the main political parties want to transfer Blackhall into the Hartlepool constituency (see posts elsewhere on this site for more detail).

Now is your chance to write to the BCE to tell them that you believe Blackhall and its surrounding villages all have a common identity, heritage and culture and that you support their recommendation to leave things as they are.

But hurry....time is running out!!!
