Ragstone is a poor material to build houses from and it doesn't insulate well. For heritage restoration there are other sources of ragstone. Once ancient woodland take 400 years to develop it special biodiversity and once it's gone it's gone. And we desperately need to preserve our farm land for the future. We need to stop the destruction of these and tell KCC's Conservative Cabinet Member in charge to change her mind. Green Cllr Stuart Jeffery and Green Campaigner Rachel Rodwell will be taking this petition to the heart of Conservative run KCC. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-the-quarry-save-the-ancient-woodland
