#272016-04-07 09:56Thank you for forming this petition . We must stop the proposed Gravel Extraction in Bengeo. Only together can we stand against the corporate pressure on our Council.. There has not been due consideration given to the Health and Safety of children from the local school or local residents who would be in close proximity. >Property values be affected. >Health would be affected for years by Air Pollution from Excavation and infilling with Rubish. >Safety would be affected by Lorries turning onto the B158 Wadesmill Road. There have already been Fatal Accidents on this road and we all experience the mud and congestion on the A602 at nearby Quarries. |

#322016-04-07 10:26i am glad it exists i feel strongly about this issue. i wanted to provide substance to my concerns but the comment section lacked the space for wording that i needed to express my concern. |

#332016-04-07 10:46Insufficient buffer zone to nearby neighbourhood including Bengeo Primary School. Insufficient community information and consultation upfront and during the application process. For example how can the school not be approached about this??? Adverse impact not only on lical neighbourhood health, traffic and amenity but also local wildlife. The red kites living in our area to mention but a few. |

#352016-04-07 11:30The proposed quarry will cause disruption to the neighbourhood with increased traffic. Beautiful countryside which the local community and wildlife use will be destroyed. The health risks connected with the dust are a concern to myself and family. |

#362016-04-07 11:50I think it is discusting I'm 55 years old them fields I have used as a kid jumping hay bales I done potatoe picking and strawberry picking there also the tree we called it the Lightning tree and used to go sit there and have picnics in the late 60s and 70s I have a heart condition which is life threatening and a lot old people live up here and the dust will be a health hazard for us all I think it is a disgrace |

#382016-04-07 12:48Associated dust will damage peoples' health. Too near school. Lower water table will damage the viability and health of St. John's Wood .extra traffic will damage local roads including A602. The extension of water mill lane which is an ancient pathway will be damaged or lost. Bengeo has has the dust and dirt from gravel digging for many years. It is time to give us a rest. The map shown is out of date and thus inaccurate |

#402016-04-07 17:41It will destroy the countryside that is supposed to be protected and bring pollution to a family-residentual area. |

#412016-04-07 18:55Concerns over the negative impact on Bengeo Primary School which our 4 yr old hopes to start in Sept, the noise, air pollution and detrimental impact on local roads. |
Guest |
#422016-04-07 18:59Concern about the impact to health and wellbeing of local residents as well as the environment, particularly the proximity to a local primary school; the inadequate planning for how local infrastructure is expected to deal with increased traffic |
Guest |
#432016-04-07 19:07I've grown up in this area and these plans will spoil the environment for everybody. |

#442016-04-07 19:35Increased traffic in the area,pollution, open space taken away from the community |
Guest |
#452016-04-07 20:39I feel so strongly about this, why is this happening? It's beautiful, children grow up in such a concrete city these days, we are so lucky to have beautiful countryside surrounding us, it's calming, natural & cultural ........ |

#462016-04-07 22:33I live in the Bengeo area and live the countryside it's not going to be good for the neighbouring school or the environment if this goes ahead |

#47 Don't build it!2016-04-07 22:35Please don't build a quarry in this beautiful area. I am not from Bengeo myself, but members of my family are and my niece and nephew attend the primary school which is going to be right next to it and they only live a few doors away. Please don't risk their health and wellbeing |
Guest |
#482016-04-07 22:35We are extremely concerned as live right opposite the quarry - we are very concerned about the pollution it will cause and the health risks as have a young family - both our children attend Bengeo primary school which is next to the quarry |
Guest |
#492016-04-07 22:47I am from a different Hertfordshire town but I do understand the concerns that local residents of Bengeo may have. It's going to destroy the countryside and it may have a negative impact on people's health!! Also I read somewhere that it may affect Bengeo Primary as dust may travel in causing problems to the children/staff that attend there. What if one, or maybe a few, of the children suffer from asthma? Not goodfor anyone's health! |
Guest |
#502016-04-08 07:50I am angered and disgusted by these plans which are wholly detrimental to the local community! |
