Mineral extraction restarted on 28 May and completed on 5 July 2024 with enough mineral for processing over the next few months.
The next phase is stripping of Area E2 which is expected to commence in early August 2024 but will update once plans confirmed.
It was reported that the haul road conditions were much better since regular maintenance has been carried out on the permissive path crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The footpath along the Nature Reserve has been widened as agreed with the Council. Grass cutting has been carried out and essential vegetation management has been undertaken in the operational areas of the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Works have not yet finished. It is understood that E1 will finish and start in E2 in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jenny said that feedback from numerous people walking along the footpath on the proposed diversion expressed concerns on safety when using the diverted footpath alone and where no one can be seen. Also concerns about anti-social behaviour in remote hidden areas. Local feeling is rather than have a diversion route which is not wanted, money could be diverted from creating it to improving the Aldborough Road North path and also the permissive bridleway at the Equestrian Centre. The alternative route to the railway station would be along this route or via Oaks Lane\/Sainsbury\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
