More details from petition creator
Portland is part of the beautiful, world famous Jurassic coast and also the home of Portland stone.
Portland stone has been used in some of the most eminent buildings in the land. Less well known is the terrible cost in lives and environmental damage that Portland has suffered due to stone extraction.
Recently a quarry firm bought mineral rights to quarry the coast from Southwell Village to Portland Bill. These rights date back to 1951 when controls were minimal. They override environmental restrictions such as SSSI status. Quarrying is expected to start in the next two months.
Trashing the remaining natural beauty of the island would be a terrible, costly mistake. Peace and tranquility will be replaced by blasting. Rare habitats will be obliterated. Important archaeological sites will be destroyed. The resulting industrial wasteland will savagely depress tourism.
We must act now to prevent this coast being destroyed forever.
