I am a resident of Stratton Strawless and I wish to OBJECT to the proposal for a sand and gravel extraction site at Mansom Plantation. It will destroy trees and wildlife habitat at a time when it is essential that we preserve our natural environment. It is madness to destroy the things we need for our survival as a species, simply to take from the earth material which will no doubt be used for building roads and thereby contribute to the global threat to our whole planet. We have to understand that only by doing the right thing at a local level will we protect the earth for our children. These decisions might seem insignificant to a local council, but it is on the basis of decisions like these that our children and grandchildren will judge us: did we choose to act to protect the natural world, or did we sell it out?
