| 151 | Sarah Medcalf | Don't backfill climber's playgrounds! This quarry is one of the easiest to access by public transport in the Edinburgh/Fife area and great for newer climbers. There are some great little routes too. These sites need supporting, not destroying. If this were to happen to Rosyth today, where would be next? Surely there are other options for the builders. |
| 152 | Anonymous | Its a shame that The George Wimpey Group cant resolve this small problem for such a large organisiation. Keeping the use of the quarry and developing buildings in a safe environment is could a logistical dream project to a engineer with a bit of time given to the situation.
Its also worth thinking that the future workers of Wimpey Homes may be one of those kids who play or climb at Rosyth Quarry building up their self confidence through rock climbing and biking.
Is it so imposible to build new homes with out having to demolish popualar venues of gathering for recreation and education. |
| 153 | Bill Davidson | This quarry has been used for years to introduce a lot of people to the joys of climbing. In an age where the govt is meant to be encouraging people to take up any kind of physical activity this proposal is unacceptable! |

| 160 | Anonymous | This quarry is the largest of any local 'natural' climbs in South Fife having extensive well-known routes which are an ideal practice-ground for newcomers to the sport and for those with more honed skills to practice on. This facility cannot be allowed to close as facilities of this size just do not exist elsewhere. |

| 162 | IAIN SIMPSON | I first learned to climb here and still go. You'll find people climbing there most nights so it would be a shame to turn yet another sporting venue (which is free) over to housing. It isn't a den for misuse either as plenty other kids enjoy playing there watching the climbers and being inspired to maybe take up climbing themselves one day. |

| 167 | Ross Jones | This was the first place I climbed at around Edinburgh ten years ago and it is one of the few available outdoor venues within easy reach and public transport for the central belt.
It would be a real sadness to lose an outdoor venue, especially in light of the huge public and private financial resources that have been ploughed in to creating an indoor venue at Ratho, which is after all a step for many beginner climbing outside. Please don't fill in one of the few local outdoor venues. |
| 168 | kathy haddow | Fully support this- we need as many outdoor spaces as possible to help rid this country of the 'Playstatiion Generation' label our kids are being given |
| 169 | alex munro | Save the routes..! |
| 170 | Scott Grant | Maybe they should just not build houses so close to the cliff? Or is this another case of profit before people. |
| 171 | Nancy Grant | There will be no like place to walk my grand-children and teach them about wildlife and the country-side. this must not be allowed to happen for many apart from the climbers who also find it invaluable. |
| 172 | James Garvie | Rosyth Quarry has been a rock climbing venue (boasting over 40 different routes) for many years. Here in this sheltered arena, young, aspiring climbers have cut their teeth on natural rock and have gone on to achieve remarkable things in wilder outdoor areas. I know of many, not so young, aspiring Munroists, who have gained experience in climbing and abseiling in the relative safety of the Quarry, thus enabling them to go on to climb their Ultimate Munro, Sgurr Dearg (The Inn-Pin.) If this facility is forcibly removed, it will be a great loss to ALL ages and abilities! But who knows.....the climbing fraternity may well have to resort, for practice, to scaling the facades of those unsightly edificies, thrown up, thoughtlessly, by those profit driven environmental destroyers, who call themselves, "Developers." |

| 174 | George Grant | I am willing to back your "save the Quarry" in any way I can. |
| 175 | hector stewart | do not fill in the quarry. |
| 176 | Sharon Hutchison | I think this is a great bit of countryside in an area with very little recreation. More houses in a place where housing in NOT needed I think Wimpey are selfish and greedy. This area is also used by locals, children and youths doing scrambling, why take it away????? |
| 177 | robert easson | |
| 178 | kenny alexander | make the developers use the money it would cost to back fill the quarry to develope parking and picnic facilities |

| 183 | Michael O'Boyle | This has been an important venue for local
climbers for many years. Back-filling for safety reasons
is clearly absurd. Other quarries , such as
Auchinstarry, have shown that housing and climbing
can co-exist. |

| 185 | Jack Curry | I have been climbing at rosyth quarry for 5 years and its where i first learnt to climb. I live very close to the quarry and it is a good crag to meet new people and to enhance your skills at leading a climb. This quarry dosent deserve to be filled it should be treasured. |
