Stop the Quarry, Save the Ancient Woodland

Conservative Cabinet Member Susan Carey on Kent County Council

Ancient woodland takes 400 years to develop its special biodiversity and once it's gone it's gone. We also desperately need to preserve our farmland 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.

We must not lose any more ancient woodland or farmland, particularly for a quarry extracting stone that we don't need. Ragstone is a poor material to build houses from and it doesn't insulate well. For heritage restoration there are other sources of ragstone.
