Having lived in Creigiau for 30 years and experiencing the effects of the quarry when it was last in use,  I am very concerned to say the least at the prospect of it reopening. The environmental impact on the surrounding area will be devastating, noise and dust pollution from blasting and Lorries, especially as they are extending the area of the quarry towards Pentyrch primary school and Creigiau Rec. I remember as a teenager the constant flow of Lorries travelling up pant y Gored Rd, having to Mount the pavement to pass other traffic! And the one memory that sticks in my mind is of the hedgerow along the entire length of pant y gored Rd was Black!! I remember travelling along that road a few months after the quarry had closed and commenting how beautiful that road looked again...... We do not want to go back to that!!!
