I most strongly object to the dreadful proposal to Wreck our village and the land surrounding it with a huge horrible eyesore of a sand quarry.
There are very few places left in the area where it is possible to live quietly and breath clean air. This quarry would destroy all that. My village of Shouldham is a small,quiet village and the thought of huge lorries driving through would be horrendous. It is still possible to hear birds sing here but with a massive quarry on our doorsteps birds and wild animals would become extinct. Shouldham Warren is a rare area of trees where people can walk their dogs and allow children to play, the only freely available area in the district and that would be destroyed. People come from miles around to visit The Warren. It is an important area of countryside and there are very few of them left now.
There are quite a few very historical sites around here. They would be obliterated. The village is mentioned in the Doomsday book. Just think of another entry in that book "there was a lovely village there but now it is a hole in the ground with all the surrounding area blasted out of existance because of the pursuit of money by ignorant people in power with more money than sense". They of course don't live anywhere near a quarry naturally.
I wish to register my very strong objection to this total distruction of a massive area of valuable countryside.
