PLANS to reactivate a disused quarry within a stone’s throw of Hadrian’s Wall have unleashed a storm of protest.
More than 50 letters of objection have been lodged with Northumberland County Council over the project to resume working at Cocklaw Quarry, near Wall.
Tynedale Roadstone Ltd wants to extract sandstone, limestone and sand and gravel from the quarry on Brunton Bank over a 10-year period.
However, local residents fear the work would lead to increased lorry traffic on the Military Road, and an unacceptable impact on the setting of the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site.
