They are planning to do it
BT recently stated that it remained “confident” of being able to “recover” an estimated 200,000 tonnes of copper from their old legacy network through the 2030s.

Oh good, well that's something, although I definitely can't wait until the 2030s!
All of this is based on the assumption I won't need that line again, we can get BT fibre run from the poles on our street now, I'm with Community Fibre, there's Virgin (not that I'll ever use it) and Hyperoptic are coming so I'm presuming my thinking isn't flawed.

They'll perhaps offer it on a tender if anyone can be arsed to remove it, but I've read there's not much copper in those cables and even if that did happen I suspect I'd have long finished refurbishing our place by then.
Hopefully.
