Pilkington Quarry Update
Dec 16th, 2009 by David
A message from the Blackrod and Horwich Environmental Action Group:
Pilkington Quarry 83299/09
This new application seeks to change the permitted quarrying operation from 2007 to 2042. We are still questioning why the quarry has been allowed to operate without active planning permission. We also question why you would need to extend the operational life of a quarry which has already extracted all the available stone. It would be beneficial if you would make your views about this application known to the council Objections lodged as a result of previous applications do not count, so make your views about this application known.
Please remember, one comment per person not one per household.
The official consultation ends Christmas day.
In addition, if you are able to form a local residents group, please contact me on either email
