In my local, rural, community we are fighting against a large quarry being started on what currently are green fields. It would be great if my followers could follow this campaign account on @stopnewquarry.bsky.social and repost some of the posts. Thank you 🙏

Developers told Parish Council it was an 'extension' to existing quarry, Planning Statement calls it an 'extension' on every page title & in 22 places in the doc. Council website gives address of current quarry. Inaccurate & misleading! It's a NEW 214,000m2 site

Thank you Martin Heath & BBC Northampton for raising the issue of this NEW industrial sized quarry/recycling plant/ready mixed concrete plant near Pury End & The Furlongs development in Towcester. 110 additional HGV movements on already overloaded A5.

Please help to stop the NEW quarry at Pury End. The quarry will impact the wildlife, the health and wellbeing of people living nearby, and anyone who uses the already overloaded A5. Plus,this is an area of archaeological significance.

Google maps satellite image for proposed site of new quarry which also shows part of the large housing development adjacent to the site.
Table from quarry planning statement showing that a max of 55 HGV lorries will leave the site daily and 55 HGV lorries will arrive at the site daily.
2/2 Planning map is out of date & fails to show how close the quarry will be to The Furlongs estate. Less than 300m from The Furlongs & even less to housing & community centre still being built.
55 trucks in & 55 out each day onto an already overloaded A5
