East Devon’s MP Hugo Swire last week met with representatives from Aggregate Industries to discuss the controversial plans to develop a quarry at Straitgate Farm, near Ottery St Mary.
Commenting, Hugo Swire said:
‘I have visited the site and talked to my constituents in the area and this was a good opportunity to convey their concerns to Aggregate Industries. I have already written to the Leader of Devon County Council, John Hart, raising these concerns.
‘If planning is eventually granted then I do feel that DCC should explore alternative entry and exit points to mitigate the disruption that this development will cause’.
