The Department for Transport has lodged a public notice to block off Leaton Lane, in Leaton, close to Wrockwardine in Telford.
The Department for Transport in Whitehall has lodged a public notice to block off Leaton Lane, in Leaton, close to Wrockwardine in Telford if the borough council grants planning permission.
Councillor Jacqui Seymour, the ward councillor for the Wrockwardine area, says it is a"significant and important" for the area. "Although people here have lived with the site for many years, extending the life of the quarry will continue its impact on people for the foreseeable future." In addition she says the loss of Leaton Lane as a through route and associated rights of way will further inconvenience residents but,"probably most important of all, the removal of the limit on the rate of production will result in even more early starts and late night working with all the associated impacts on residents’ lives."
