Stop the Proposed Mineral Extraction Site’s in Great Bentley Village
Essex County Council have proposed a possible Mineral Extraction site to be built in Great Bentley, with 2 others bordering the village.
The Parish Council are going to be petitioning to have the Bridleway that runs through the centre of the proposed site declared an asset of Community Value, but to do that we need your help!
To help please fill out the following questionnaire:
Sturrick Lane (Great Bentley) to A133 (Frating) Bridleway (google.com)
THE SIZE OF 90 FOOTBALL PITCHES AT 67 HECTARES WHICH IS 165 ACRES 3.5 TIMES THE SIZE OF GREAT BENTLEY VILLAGE GREEN
The work on this proposed site will have an effect on the village for at least 20 years. It will blight the fabric of our community and destroy the environment.
Great Bentley village has already had an increase in 60% of housing development with 2 active extraction sites in Great Bentley Road – the increased vehicle movements through the village is already causing problems and these proposed sites will only make this worse, not to mention the other associated problems with a site like this.
