The import/export of sand and gravel can be done via rail depot at Grain but a large proportion is transported by lorries adding to pollution, road damage and, at times, congestion.

It is imperative that all - or at least the majority of movements - be done by train.

I live in Allhallows, and I strongly believe that mineral resources should definitely be safeguarded. Protecting these resources is crucial for ensuring that we have access to essential materials for future developments and maintaining local industries. Safeguarding them prevents unnecessary depletion and supports sustainable planning, which is especially important in our area where development pressures are high. Responsible management and protection of these resources are key to balancing growth with long-term environmental and economic benefits.
