I'm afraid I have to appologise for misleading you all. On our website I had a map showing the areas under threat from quarrying. However, I have now had an update to the areas under discussion and the situation is much WORSE than I had thought. Tarmac really do intend to quarry right up to the henges.

Please see the website http://www.friendsofthornborough.org for updated maps.

Yes - far worse. Has the planning application been submitted?

I note the Washland Project glossy brochure boasts an impressive range of supporters (quarry companies, the Environment Agency, County Council, English Nature...) but it is interesting to note they cannot add English Hertiage (or is that 'yet'?!).
