A PACKED Appin Village Hall voted overwhelmingly to oppose a plan to build a sand and gravel quarry at Glasdrum, Fasnacloich, on Glen Creran Estate, writes Sandy Neil.
Eighty people gathered last Thursday (June 16) for a pre-application consultation presented by William Booth, director of the agent Dalgleish Associates, on behalf of prospective Argyll applicant A & L McCrae, which mines Barrachander Quarry near Kilchrenan.
Mr Booth explained the 5.35-hectare site beside the river Creran, on land owned by Belgian quarrier Baron Dominique Collinet, would yield 95,000 tonnes over six years. It would employ four people excavating Monday to Saturday, with on average six despatch lorries per day.
