For the gain of employment at the quarry which may create a couple of jobs there will be the possible loss of jobs at the stables, and the riding school. Plus the loss of tourism to the area. Drivers of cars that adhere to the speed limit are one thing, drivers of trucks on piecework DO NOT. Obviously you have never tried to keep up with a wagon laden with stone heading out of Britannia Quarry at Whitworth, or followed a lorry heading out of Scout Moor quarry down the A680, try following one in the wet when you have to avoid the trail of mud on the road. Rooley Moor road was never built for heavy goods vehicles, there is barely enough room for two cars to pass let alone a wagon heading downhill at speed on a wet road. It is a recipe for disaster. We won’t let ourselves down with our approach; DP Williams has done that in his determination of working conditions. Every person connected with the fight is working hard to keep these Lorries off our streets and to protect our moor land from further devastation

   Why do these protestors let themselves down so quickly with their approach.

I quote 'lorries thundering down the hill', 'ruin the archeology'. etc. etc.

For the above read, lorries driving within the speed limit just as every car does, just as the campaigners do. For Archeology read, we have no idea whether there is any but thought it would sound good if we put it in our objection.

It's exactly the amateur like attitude that get's these scheme's the permission they need, so keep going and we can see the quarry in us and people in employment.

Thank you for your approach. Keep making it up as you go along.
