Controversial Quarry Plans in Caistor Approved by Lincolnshire County Council

Plans for a new quarry in Caistor have been greenlit by Lincolnshire County Council, despite grappling with antagonism from local denizens and environmental groups. Welton Aggregates, the firm responsible for the project, aims to mine sand and gravel from the site. They counter the opposition by stating this will supply vital materials for construction and infrastructure schemes across the county. Critics, however, voice worries about potential negative effects on the local environment, encompassing noise, dust and disruption to wildlife habitats. The council’s decision has ignited controversy within the community, with several residents apprehensive about the long-standing effects on Caistor’s landscape and quality of life.
