Respondent: Mr John Burton
I wish to make my feelings made clear with regards to the suggestion or proposal that Fritton forest could be destroyed in making way for aggregate extraction.
This location is a community asset from many aspects:
The River Waveney (Norfolk Broads) runs along side the proposed site, leading to potential water contamination and also an eyesore for the many Broads cruisers.
"Angles Way" using this riverbank, an historic long distance walk, voted the best riverside walk in Britain!
The local community use this fantastic facility in their thousands for leisurely pursuits.
Access to the site is awkward, a road dividing the village, with a junction onto the A143, full of hazard on an already overworked road.
Risk of air pollution to the local residents.
I could go on, I'm sure others will have shared their own concerns.
I am well aware that most community fears or worries can be overcome with planning conditions and Brett's aggregates complying with these, but when the damage has been done there is no way of "re-winding" the situation!
