Well what a great turnout at the Blackbourne as villagers vented their anger at the proposal to expand the Lawn Farm Quarry.
Councillor Jane Storey did her best to chair the meeting but the villagers were adamant with a resounding NO WAY TO THE EXPANSION.
Basically the presentation failed to convince anybody that the the project would not harm the village. The guy from the Council gave scant respect to the possiblity that our house prices would be affected and was unable to guarantee pollution wouldn’t be controlled, drinking water wouldnt be polluted, Lorries wouldnt drive through an already busy village and the concrete crusher wouldnt created noise pollution for the majority of the day everday for 30 years.
The County Councillor from Mineral & Waste Department gave an impression to the village that deal had already been done due to his overwelming support for the consultant David, who was certainly not a local with the way he treated the audience with contempt.

I felt sorry for Councillor Storey she is a local and tried to keep the balance but the villagers felt so strongly that the had beed treated as idiots by the consultant proposing the expansion. He just talked about averages, estimates, possible calculations.
The villagers talked about actuallities.
Only 17 houses were designated to suffer What a lot of rubbish.

What a great Parish Council Chairman Haughley have got, he really knew his stuff and put the Consultant in his place.
The guy from Wetherden also put over a good reason for not having any expansion.
Where was the Chairman of Elmswell Parish Council?
