| This one is too close to call. The Tories won a landslide victory last year to take control of Hyndburn borough (the town of Accrington and surrounding areas), even though only four years before they had held only three seats on the council. East Lancashire has seen a lot of job losses, particularly in the textile industry. Labour are concerned and are treating it as a vital marginal, one of very few seats they won in 1992 to get the 'key seat' treatment. |

| East Lancashire in its entirety spend the Thatcher-Major years as a warp and weft of Tory-Labour marginal fine fabric. Which means, as a consequence, that it's likely to do better than the national Labour average, local Tory victories or no. But as routine preemptive action (and just that), I can see why Labour would bolster their resources in Hyndburn, Rossendale & Darwen, etc...... |
