Landfills on Portland
On Wednesday the 18th March, at the Portland Town Council meeting, we will be having a discussion about Landfills on Portland. Why is Portland one of the biggest landfill site areas in England?.... Admiralty 600,000 tons, Broadcroft 1,000,000 tons Coombefield 1,000,000
If you live on or near a Landfill come along and give your opinion.

Hi, Back on the planned Southwell Quarry / Mine entrance ; I have created some AI images to help visualise the size of the excavation that will remove 220,000 tons of soil and cap stone to expose the expected 102,000 tons Portland stone, and the congestion the initial 24,000 HGV journeys will cause in Southwell.
The planning request P/FUL/2024/05804 is closed at the moment , but if you email Planning Minerals with the the planning reference and your name and address you can give your opinion on this planning request.

If we don't stop the new quarry, you will see it from this beautiful site on the other side of the road going towards Southwell from Portland Bill.
Portland is the most quarried place in Britain, you have to wonder how much of our history has been thrown on the spoil heap.

Hi I am still focused on the new quarry/mine entrance planned for the Bill Road P/FUL/2024/05804
So yesterday, to help visualise the potential pollution and disruption caused with creating the new quarry, I filmed the route the 12,000 full HGV's will take between the Bill Road and Combefield quarry. Obviously, 12,000 empty HGV's will return on the same route . The plan is 4 loads per hour so 8 HGV's every hour everyday, month after month.
