YOUR report of Horwich Town Council’s discussion of the application to extend quarrying at Montcliffe Quarry for a further nine years makes for depressing reading.
I did smile though, ruefully, at the statement by the applicant’s representative that when the quarrying is completed the site will be turned into a nature reserve. A good half of the readers will think “I’ve heard that before”
and the remainder will just sigh “Cutacre”.
