I had retruned from my family holiday on Saturday 10th July and was down at Wolfclyde on the Sunday evening (not Sunday fishing of course just out for a walk and checking out the river levels). I saw the laminated cutting from the Gazette pinned to the fencepost. I could not believe it. I thought my eyes were failing me in the twilight. I returned home still not quite believing what CRAG has achieved. I even had to check again the following day to be sure. Deep Joy!
I wish George could have known.

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

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!

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

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

Firstly over the years quarrying has been brought into the 21st centuary there are now so may restrictions on what the industry cant do to do any real damage the goverment body SEPA also moinitor this industry and fine heavely any quarry failing to comply. At present the uk is very streched in heavey building materials more so sand & gravel so lets buy it from abroad & lets not create jobs not just in the industry but the support services that we so badly need keep britain moving or lets just bury our heads in the SAND
