Flintshire villagers are celebrating today after plans to re-open a massive quarry near Wrexham were thrown out.

Postscript. The people of Penyffordd, Hope and Caergwrle owe Cllr Stella Jones a big thank you for her efforts to stop this planning application.

Hope Councillor Tim Newhouse put his written objections to the quarry in his report to the Flintshire Planning Committee.

This decision thankfully overturned Cliff Shone's vote FOR the quarry in 2002.
