IMPORTANT! NORFOLK BIRDERS & BEYOND, PLEASE SIGN NOW!

The information below taken from the above link. Please email, tweet, facebook etc this info on to all your friends, thank you very much.

WASP is an action group opposed to NCC’s listing of the beautiful and economically vital Snettisham site as a preferred location for Silica mining.

NCC is currently offering up over 1400 hectares of OUR beautiful county (much of it within 250m to 1000m of historic woodland, villages, designated SSI’s, Commons, National Monuments and nature reserves) as ‘preferred sites’ for exploration for open pit mining when it has a national requirement to find merely 20 hectares.

We believe this a disproportionate and unnecessary approach which seriously puts at risk OUR environment and wildlife, OUR health, OUR safety, OUR jobs (Tourism) and OUR heritage.

Which areas will be effected? Where is 'AOS A'?
As you can see from the map below ‘AOS A’ is in immediate proximity to Snettisham, Ingoldisthorpe and Dersingham. Hopefully you will agree this is just too near our homes, the woods, common, lakes, the world famous RSPB reserve and beach we all enjoy. The red road (A149) is already busy and dangerous and this will be used for lorries should the plans go ahead. We all need to get concerned and take action TODAY. Think about the health implications, tourism, job and property implications and impact on our glorious plant and wildlife.

How Can I Take Action?
