Latest correspondence from Lance Thompson to Fife Council. I think everyone would agree that this issue needs sorted- particularly as this is the access road to the school.

On Wednesday 17th February 2010, Hanson, the operator of Mountcastle Quarry ran a To be honest there wasn’t really anything new here. We had already had a fairly comprehensive presentation regarding the Approach Wood site and the only change is that it is more red squirrel friendly- not sure if a quarry can be squirrel frindly but hey-ho, its better than nothing. There was some discussion regarding the time extension at Mountcastle. Essentially the economic downturn has slowed demand which has meant that not all the sand that can be extracted (the remainder is under the plant equipment) has been. The permission to quarry runs out in April. Hanson are basically asking for planning permission to extend the length of their operations (due to finish in April) by another 18 months. On the conclusion of this, Hanson will maintain the site as a wildlife reserve for another 5 years. What’s in it for the local community- er nothing. So folks, Community Council has to give an opinion as to whether to support this extension. Personally I think it would be a nice gesture from Hanson to contribute to a local project eg. the Park redevelopment (hint) to compensate for the additional dust, noise and traffic disruption but that apparently isn’t being considered. Add your comments below or even better toodle along to the next Community Council meeting and share your thoughts…. Well you can’t moan unless its been reported!

The following response has (finally) come from Fife Council..
However the crews are still trying to catch up with missed bins where access allows so please leave your bins out at the kerbside. Well we did warn the council ……. Has anyone got any idea when the bins I’ll be interested to know if they’ll take any additional bin bags too. I know its extreme weather but a little bit of communication can go a long way! |
Earlier this year, Donald Dallas (local teacher, long-time resident and President of the Letham Lawnmower Society) delivered a fantastic talk on the history of Letham.
