In regard to the proposals to turn Fritton Woods into a quarry for mineral extraction is utterly dreadful and I think along the same lines as before it would be devastating to the wildlife, the village and the roads.
The health hazard is also great as Dr Van Stevens at the previous public meeting said in regards to the extraction at Fritton Woods would be a health hazard and dependant on the wind reaching Belton and Reedham and could cause all manner of illness and death.
The A143 is already horrendous in traffic and large lorries thundering through hair pin bends and tiny roads would be suicidal, besides the dust element with houses so close by.
The woods themselves have so much wildlife which are protected species, the list is endless and I could write reams on it.
The walks there are beautiful and there is so much talk on wildlife preservation by professional people who would be horrified at the thought of it being turned into a quarry would be a living nightmare.
I myself lived in Fritton for 14 years and would fight with my life to keep this enchanting wood alive in particular for the next generation.
I strongly object to any form of mineral extraction in Fritton Woods.
