WHY, she a little country area have a quarry?
Here are reasons for WHY NOT!
1.There will be constant Lorries on the single track country road!
2.There are NO Passing Places available if you are to meet a Lorry for the Quarry!
3.The constant motors on a single track country road means that there are more chances of an accident on our road, especially if the main road is closed off and the police are redirecting the traffic up this road!
4.Farm animals will become unsettled!
5.The road will no longer be safe for YOUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, NIECES, NEPHEWS, FRIENDS CHILDREN, FAMILY PETS OR YOURSELF to walk on!
6.Increased pollution to the area, which is harmful to the environment and yourself!
7. This is a Main Route for a School Bus, due to children living in this area!
We hope you feel as strongly as we do about SAYING TO THE MUIRTACK QUARRY!
If you do, then PLEASE sign our Petition

We just hit 250 signatures and the council cannot ignore this level of local opposition anymore. Post this link on Facebook to reach neighbors who do not know about the quarry threat yet. Email your local representative today and demand they visit the single track road to see the danger for themselves.

I think it'd be extremely invasive on local households and will create stress on the livestock at the nearby livery and fields. It would spoil the freedom of visiting children enjoying the countryside due to traffic movements and heavy machinery.
I can't believe this has even been considered. ..what a disgrace. This is directly adjacent to my mother in laws house, she has lived there for over fifty years. ...can you imagine how distressing this is for her and her neighbours.
It's an absolute disgrace that they would even think about a quarry in the beautiful countryside which has so many young families in the area, not to mention the dangers with vehicles up & down a single track road, which is regularly used by the school bus & parents picking up their children from school,
Why spoil a beautiful countryside area with machines and lorries, not to mention the dust they will generate. No one wants to be constantly inhaling dust particles and never getting washing out never mind the noise and the state of the roads. Put it elsewhere PLEASE
This road isn't well kept by the council as it is, with the increase of large lorries driving on them it'll make them worse. It's dangerous enough a car meeting another car on this road. It's an accident waiting to happen if this goes ahead.
Greed not need. 30 + quarries in Aberdeenshire already. What will be left for future generations
I am concerned at the additional amount of traffic at the Toll of Burness

I keep my horses along this road and hack them out here. If the quarry went ahead I would have to move them as they need a quiet environment in which to live. This would also mean loss of income for the yard where I keep them and the upset of being moved for my horses.
