MP2s Mill Hill nr Barton in Fabis 3.0mt**
I want to object to this being included as the ecology of the area will be severely affected as the RSPB and Notts Wildlife Trust have stated. It is an important habitat for many types of birds and the extraction will also extend its effect by impacting on the wildlife at Attenborough Nature Reserve an important wintering ground for many rare species.
The area is used recreationally for walking ,running, cycling and horse riding, at a time when councils are supposed to be encouraging healthy lifestyles, these activities would be serverely affected as there will be more noise, traffic and areas that could no longer be accessed.
It will have a major effect on local residentswho will have to contend with the increase in noise, dust and traffic which will decimate a peaceful, beautiful corner of Nottinghamshire
