8 is the figure they have in application. We are only dealing with the what they have put in writing. Nothing changed to make 'campaign more intense'
55 trucks a day in and out is also their figure. Only 3% of limestone fit for building, everything else being crushed for aggregates.

8 jobs, at the site, and they say they want to retain existing staff, so even that won't be 8 new jobs.

Issues are that it is not in the middle of the countryside, it is far too near homes & primary school, the main A5 road & surrounding roads cannot take increased volume of HGVs, health issues from dust, there are questions over actual demand for the limestone for building & quality of the stone etc

Limestone, but there will also be a recycling plant onsite for recycling inert building and construction waste and also mention of a ready mix concrete plant. It's less than 300m from a new housing estate. Worries are silica in dust, traffic (110 truck movements a day), noise & wildlife impact.

It was my first foray into what they were.
I can see them being very useful if not used in a malicious manner.
But you are most certainly correct, it’s not worth wondering how you got on a list. Chances are in my case, I don’t want to know this person, so trash takes itself out 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've stopped looking at lists now as got added to some other weird ones, like people blocking others who follow back etc.
Social media can be a dark rabbit hole at times if you are worried about mental health.
It's best to keep your feet firmly in the real world while dipping into the online world

I stumbled upon this by accident after getting added to a list called “blockenheimer” (?) by someone IDK and it’s kind of a crazy story…
Anyway, I thought this exchange was sweet.
