Quotes from the Islands MP:
“I support your campaign to get the planning application turned down. I met with some of your members last year to discuss.
If elected next week I will be in touch as your MP to see how we can work together.”

Important update and invitation
​
As many of you will be aware Wight Building Materials Ltd have submitted an amendment to their previous application to create a quarry at Palmers Farm. There are several changes to the amended submission including a revised access route onto and along Palmers Road to and from Lushington Hill. The 20 tonne, 4 axle lorries will generate an average 38 two-way trips per day.
We invite you to attend a public meeting at Wootton Community Primary School, Church Road at 6.00pm on Thursday 30 May.
​
A further public consultation will take place between 24 May and 14 June. If you are unable to attend the meeting, we would encourage you to submit your comments/objections either via the IOW Council planning website or by letter to the planning dept. There are more details of how to do this below on the newsletter.
