The Working Group held on 21 February in the village hall was well attended with approximately 120 villagers present to hear presentations from Councillor Tony Dunn (Chair of Pattiswick Parish Council), Councillor Paul Thorogood and Alan Routledge.
There was much discussion about how important it is for us all to object to these potential sites as not all potential sites will be selected to go forward. It was suggested that we should aim to to get as many of the criteria to be as near to Red as possible as these are hard to mitigate. e plan. The results are shown for each of the 3 sites near Stisted.
Councillor Thorogood has prepared some sample objections that we can all use to make our objections by 19 March. These are attached her as a Word Document so that you can download and then copy and paste information to your own response. Click on the link to open Possible Gravel objections
