There was a great turn out of 180 local residents of all the villages affected by these mineral extraction proposals.
There were a number of speakers including Ian Monson (NCC Cabinet Representative for Waste and Minerals), Alistair Beales (Borough Councillor), Heather Bolt (NCC councillor), Brian Long (Councillor for the Environment, KL&WNBC) and Cliff Smalley from Save Pentney and Neil Paddock from EWAG (East Winch) action groups. The evening was hosted by our group ERASE - (Exploited Region Against Silica Extraction).
Henry Bellingham who was away in Ireland, sent his apologies and added "In the meantime, you have my 100% support in your campaign to prevent any further desecration of our beautiful countryside in your locality".
