News on Gravel extraction


In today's Free Press there is an eye-wateringly ill-informed letter about Brett's application to extract gravel etc. at Chilton written by some character who lives in Colchester. He writes 'For this quarry to be abandoned and stopped by a small group of villagers is unthinkable.'

The letter is so bizarre that a suspicious mind might think that Bretts had a hand in it. Alternatively, I suppose, it could be a joke, but if so it is rather a bad one.

Anyway I will be responding to the Free Press to try to set the record straight, and with luck they will print the letter.

In the meantime, the hearing of the latest application by the County Development Committee has been postponed yet again and the latest date we have is 4th December.
