As residents of Stratton Strawless, we strongly object to the proposal to extract gravel from Manson Plantation.
This area is right in the centre of the village and situated on the busy and dangerous Shortthorn Road where the speed limit of 40 mph is rarely adhered to.
Last week, the government was exhorting us to take care of the environment and to limit pollution. Diesel powered lorries carrying the gravel will do nothing to adhere to this.
The removal of trees will destroy the habitat of the birds and mammals who have made their home in those woods. The pollution from diesel lorries will help neither the wildlife nor the human inhabitants of nearby houses.
The inhabitants of Stratton Strawless will gain nothing from this proposal in terms of jobs nor financial advantage to the village.
