WOOLWICH OBSERVER WEIGHS IN ON HUNDER PIT

Last Saturday's Woolwich Observer carrys this story "Woolwich maintains its opposition to Hunsberger pit". Woolwich's Director of engineering and planning has been on the stand giving evidence in opposition to the proposed gravel pit. He has stated under oath that the pit "does not constitute good planning and is not in the public interest". Township issues include unacceptable noise impacts, increased traffic at Crowsfoot Corner, unacceptable visual impacts and the rehabillation of agricultural lands. Finally Woolwich would also like a sunset clause preferably that being a time limit of fifteen years on the pit.
