Cherry lodge LANDFILL Action Group

Protest march 8th October 2011

The protest march was organised to highlight what would happen to the high volume of traffic on Main Road if it had to follow a slow moving lorry on its way to the Cherry Lodge re-development haul road. It was open to hikers, dog walkers and horse riders. All were to take a slow walk from the North West entrance to Strawberry field, along Main Road (holding up as much traffic as possible) to the entrance to the field that is proposed to be the entrance to the haul road. It was a great success with a good turn out which attracted a lot of local press coverage.
