Your Voice...
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 We live near Dunduff, another Paterson Quarry. The noise and dust from the lorries is horrific and the road surfaces have become horrendous. There is also the danger aspect as the lorries travel through rural communities. This is nothing compared to what you might suffer if this new quarry goes ahead. Fight on and stop this awful plan! Good luck to you all. Posted by Concerned on 01 August 2009 Many thanks for your message, it is very much appreciated by all concerned, and we are sorry to hear of your problems regarding your local Patersons quarry. If you wish to provide us with more details regards your experiences, we would be happy to receive them. Please keep in touch.
