Representation Summary:

POOR BEETLEY! Yet another quarry proposal threatening to surround the village.
The climate is already deciding our fate, and we are constantly warned not to ignore the shortage of food that will be felt world wide, yet Norfolk persists in its sacrifice of arable land on an unprecedented scale and is destined to be a patchwork of housing estates and quarries. Certainly, another quarry in Beetley is one too far. This one, together with the 2018 intrusion, threatens to overshadow Field Lane, a route to Old Beetley used by locals and visitors alike avoiding overgrown hedgerows and the hectic 1156 highway. Is there really no end to Norfolk's demise.
