LOCAL ACTIVIST WAKES UP THE RECORD

Well done Tony Dowling. In today's Letters to the Editor (K-W Record) , Mr Dowling takes on the recent comments that any gravel anywhere is good gravel to extract. Such nonsense. Tony points out the bigger picture which includes farmland and drinking water. The problem with the latter two issues is that they don't lobby or give money to our governments the way the gravel industry does. A pox on our politicians and a pox on right wing, pro business newspapers.
