Last Nights meeting of the Save Longstone Edge Campaign was lively to say the least. Calver village hall was packed and the representatives of the Peak District National Park Authority in attendance had their work cut out fending off criticism. Following the adjournment of the inquiry that should have put paid to this illegal quarrying once and for all, most of those present felt that it was long overdue that the PDNPA did something more than organise meetings with MPs and the like. The consensus seemed to be that a Stop Notice should be served immediately on Merriman Quarrying. While it's well understood that this course of action has inherent dangers, the peril in doing nothing is that Merriman may begin to work areas higher on Longstone Edge. The visual impact of such quarrying cannot be overstated and a significant Peak District landmark would be besmirched forever. Unwilling to forewarn Merriman's, John Lomas of the Peak Park was cautious about giving any details but admitted that they are looking at a number of options. How much longer can we wait for action when the quarrymen are destroying the Peak District?
