I have mixed feelings about this. One part of me says that we should do our best to preserve and protect what is left. This would mean sealing the site, sort of like preserving it in aspic and it would become Accrington's equivalent of Stonehenge, bereft of purpose, save as a museum exhibit.

The other part of me quite likes the idea of dad's and sons climbing in and out of the trenches, and that part of me also feels that the lads who originally dug these trenches might feel the same way too. There is no substitute for learning how a thing works than getting your hands mucky.

It's a potentially contentious issue and one where hopefully we would be able to strike a happy medium.
