News Release 10th November 2008NEW QUARRY WOULD DESTROY TRANQUILITY OF KINGS BROMLEY, YOXALL, AND THE RIDWARES"Plans being considered by Staffordshire County Council for a new 217 acre gravel extraction site immediately north of Kings Bromley in Staffordshire would cause even more misery to locals as still more heavy trucks move aggregate along the A515" says Michael Fabricant.
The proposed site would be based around Bancroft farm and be operated by Aggregate Industries Limited.
"As I understand it, this is a new site, not a permitted one. It's in a flood zone and a presently tranquil area. Aggregate Industries plan to extract 500,000 tones over 20 years - that's 25,000 tonnes of gravel being moved on inadequate village roads each year. This proposal is plainly unacceptable.
"Residents have until 24th November to make their views known to Staffordshire County Council. Because of the tight time schedule, I urge all interested parties to contact the Council direct by writing to:
Paul Wilcox Tel: 01785 223121
They should mention the 'Gravel Extraction proposal at Bancroft Farm north of Kings Bromley'. At present, the site is only under general consideration. If enough residents write now to complain, we should be able to knock this one on the head before it goes any further" adds Michael. "I shall most certainly be registering my own official objection." |
