Respondent: Meriden Parish Council

No joined up thinking regarding cumulative effect on local residents. Meriden already has a problem identified by the Quarry Liaison group of dust particles emanating from several operations. Extraction is inevitable but must be strongly regulated by the council in order to minimise impacts on local roads, residents and the environment. Meriden has been affected by minerals extraction for many years and it is evident that at times regulation and monitoring has been ineffective as impacts have been significant. Another key factor is ensuring the necessary mechanism and financial security is on place for restoration once the extraction has ceased.
