This time we chat to site supervisor Ben, who explains his position in this local saga. I'm sure he has put a lot of people's mind at ease with a more detailed explanation of what exactly is going on.

My great grand parents were buried in this cemetery, I can remember as a child my grandmother saying the cemetery was going to be dug up and the bodies moved to Port Glasgow cemetery but as she did not have enough money to do anything she would let them get on with it. So what is the news it was a cemetery

Accidentally commented under someone's comment cause I'm daft 😅 That whole part of bay street was the Blackstone burial ground, which includes the ropeworks and the new builds on the otherside, there was also a building where they are digging now that I think was part of the ropeworks?. The side they're digging now was the "poor" side and i believe there was also a cholera pit, the side where the new builds are was the "well off" side, sadly wjen they dug it up they just tore out and dumped all the gravestones, i also used to live there.

Old grave yards get build on all the time as long as the bodies are removed and given a burial.they was buildings on that site I bet no one made a big fuss when the build there the first time.

Any quick look at old maps will confirm this was a cemetery in the mid 1800s

Hi Are they not giving them a new burial site? Is that why the council are denying it?

What sensationalism would this be? The fact that is what is stated on the video will be happening? Ben even tells the audience what's happening with the remains.

I was agreeing with the comment below. I don't really see the issue unless the council is not giving them a burial site, but as said in your video they are being moved to the cemetery. Richard III was buried underneath a carpark for example. This happens a lot in an expanding and overcrowded world. I don't think I'm the one being sensationalist but apologies if I have irritated you.

Do you suspect anything untoward all I can say is ask for in-depth outcome report from the council on all D.N.A samples and notify the families , some need to know

Legally, remains can be repatriated or re-interred after 100 years. All in the name of making money from the land.
