Following the quarry proposals which will see a new 120 acre site located less than 2 miles from the epicentre of Upminster, local activist and HUCA deputy Chairman, Adam Baker has continued his expressed concerns with the site. 

Adam Baker said that "96 heavy vehicles a day on our narrow country lanes would pose a safety risk to local residents." Brett Aggregates who are considering a new site that will see 150,000 tonnes of sand and gravel a year have insisted that the traffic will not make a difference. But with new routes involving the crossroads between Berwick Pond Lane, Launders Lane and Warwick Lane, drivers will face more challenges on the road. Adam Baker also said "if the Quarry is approved, it is vital that there is adequate signage and road maintenance to keep residents safe." However, the Quiet Not Quarry campaign are optimistic the quarry will not be built. 

Local MP, Julia Lopez, has met with Brett Aggregates and continues to take an interest in the residents concerns about the quarry.

Adam Baker and Edward Green, an Upminster activist, have written a letter to local residents about the quarry with a petition.

Whilst a petition will count as one submission, the more people who sign, the better chance of success to stop the quarry. Residents can also write submissions to the council as well as sign the petition.
