Your Voice...
Deep Joy. Posted by Stewart on 15 July 2010  quarry I went for a walk down to the village and I looked over to the proposed site for this abomination. It got me thinking that we as a human race do not deserve to own such beauty I had a lump in my throat when I tried to imagine what it was going to look like should planning permission go thru (god forbid!) I have noted my objections to SLC and if anyone can give our tranquil landscape a fighting chance then CRAG can all the best and good luck Posted by jules on 19 January 2010 Fly fishing I've fished the stretch of river shown on your home page for over 15 years. I've had some fantastic days observing wildlife and enjoying the unspoilt nature of the place. The rivers flood plains form a function and alow high volumes of water to be displaced across the landscape thus preventing catastrophic flooding events further downstream. With future weather patterns set to get wetter as a result of climate change then such sites are crucial in lessening flood events, one only has to see what happened recently in Cumbria. I just hope this application does not go through! Posted by m cressey on 15 December 2009 quarry We drive through the area to visit our son, at university in Edinburgh, and see the grand vista of your landscape. We hope you get your wish to stop this ugly intrusion, which would decimate the area, both landscape, environment and livelihoods of many.We live in London so we see much so called "new" ideas and the results. Good luck in your campaign. Peter Posted by Peter and Wilma Davis on 25 November 2009 overton farm quarry What a horrible proposal. From a truly horrible company. Anyone who thinks that this area of the river Clyde is worth destroying for around 20 jobs has a very low level of intelligence. We the people of Scotland deserve more. The guy who praised Patersons in this site should rethink his views. Im afraid that the jobs offered by Patersons does not justify the destruction of an eco system. What a greedy selfish individual he must be to think that is okay, so therefore the quarry should be thrown back in there greedy faces. A recession caused by foolish bank lending does not justify our enviroment being destroyed Posted by james lafferty on 12 October 2009 NO WAY! on 26 August 2009 No Title on 20 August 2009 stop the quarry on 11 August 2009 No Title on 01 August 2009 Living next to a Quarry on 14 July 2009 'Restoration smoke screen' on 21 June 2009 You Tube video on 18 June 2009 Quarry on 11 June 2009 Big Signs - NO on 09 June 2009 Quarry - NO on 23 May 2009 quarry at Lamington A ridiculous proposal, 110 lorries per day going through Biggar. A great boost to our tourist image - I don't think so. What about the local roads they are already almost like those of a third world country. The bridge at Coulter would not survive very long. Posted by denise dudds on 24 April 2009 I'm pleased to see that you are prepared to fight the fight! You must take a vehement stance against such development, which will further eat away at the best "resource" the area possesses - it's landscape (which the local plan and structured plans reflect). If you don't act now as a strong, united, integrated, persistent force you will continue to attract such unwanted development as developers will select the paths of least resistance. I wouldn't promote the view from Tinto too much - this will shortly be devastated through the introduction of 150+ 420ft turbines to the south of Abington (they do appear very close from this height). Look at the photomontages provided by Airtricity (pin cushion landscape). There are also further proposed developments within the system. From a planning perspective this perceived future deterioration in the landscape will make it potentially easier for future developments to take hold (from a planning perspective it's easier to erode something that has deteriorated, than to erode something which is closer to it's original, natural state). I think the area has past the tipping point, so there is the need for action now. Good luck with your fight. Posted by Anon on 08 May 2009 saw a photo displaying rubbish... what was a dream area it now looks like a world war blitz what the hell is going on with our beautiful Clyde area Posted by william Buchcanan on 19 August 2009 Quarry on 24 April 2009 |
