"I've just had a call from the local press to say that North Yorkshire Council Officers will be recommending that Tarmac's application to quarry the ritual landscape of Thornborough Henges - Ladybridge, should be allowed to proceed.
This means that it is now highly likely that the council planning
committee will grant Tarmac's application to quarry the site. This
will continue the destruction of the landscape surrounding
Thornborough, yet many people believe that it was this landscape
itself that was the reason why Thornborough became so important.
Whilst these days I seem unable to be angry about anything, It does
make me sad. Thornborough is a statement of belief in humanity, god and our planet and the continued quarrying of the area will serve as yet another reminder to us that collectively, it is our earnest desire to destroy our planet and ultimately ourselves.
By wiping away the landscape of Thornborough, we are wiping away the basis for its existence, the three henges that will remain will
continue to remind us exactly of the priority our elected
representatives place on the future of both our heritage and also our
planet.
In 2005 TimeWatch handed in a 10,000 signature petition to North
Yorkshire County Council, we have asked several times what they
inteneded to do with it, but we have never had a response and the
majority of the council to our knowledge are not even aware of its
existence.
Sadly petitions in North Yorkshire are easily ignored it seems.
