I would like to see them accounted for reused to help keep Accrington what it is, an historic town.

I like that bit, thought it was normal that all spoils became the property of the contractor once he took possession of the site, unless written in to the contract. Think the last hyndburn will see of the cut stone etc. Is on the back of a waggon heading for yorkshire or somewhere. I remember a school being demolished in blackburn, all the stone disappeared over a weekend
