M25.2
HGV movements. Crab Apple Lane on which these movements will start is a well used single track road. No regard has been demonstrated for safe lay by and passing places for villagers and other users including walkers to be safe whilst on this road. The soft verges will not allow HGVS to pull over so we have the potential of cars backing out onto the main B1136 which would be extremely dangerous.
As well as this the amount of dust and gravel debris left by these movements would cause other hazards to vehicles and especially cyclists.
Can we guarantee that roads are swept every day?
I imagine not!

M25.2. Lay bys and passing places to be correctly constructed on Crab Apple Lane to facilitate the safe passing of cars, walkers and cyclists from the hgv,s leaving the site and correct daily cleaning of all roads effected by hgvs leaving site debri in all weather conditions.
And I will end with the main fact that it is simply morally wrong to dig a gravel pit next door to a beautiful quiet village!!
