wow this thread has grown over night! - To answer a few questions -

Jaysay brought MPA and the Panopticon into the debate (again, boring boring). My point was that there is no reason for Mid Pennine Arts to be involved because the Panopticon was rejected and that remains the situation. It's not an art project so we have no interest and we haven't been commissioned to do any work on it so again we have no interest. If we were approached then I'm sure we would but the chances of that happening are slim - we've been told to leave the Coppice alone and we're doing what we were told.

As for me personally, I am one person around here. Yes, I know about funding and yes, I am interested in history but I can't do everything and you shouldn't expect me to!

Yes, there is an Accrington civic society and for all I know they might be doing something but it's on HBC land so surely they should be doing something.

The grafitti has been there for many years, it is all CND and war stuff so I'm guessing that it's mid 70s - it's been in that state for years.

So that answers a few of them.
