Since the proposals for open cast sand mines were made public in October a lot has been achieved, not least the formation of CAMEL - the Campaign Against Mineral Extraction and Landfill.
This is the joint action group, supported by the Parish Councils, from Betchworth and Buckland fighting the proposed sand quarries at Betchworth Common Field and Shagbrook.
This body of residents and professionals from Brockham, Betchworth and Buckland have been tirelessly fighting for the benefit of all the communities and it needs your support! To date we have successfully ;
enabled an extension to the submission date, till February 28th
raised over £4,000 to produce professional technical reports which will be crucial in putting a case against the extraction programme
established a communications team to create public awareness and target local and national press
approached local and national politicians and influencers to help us fight this critical campaign
started the unenviable task of collating masses of research and referencing it should the proposal go to judicial review, which is highly likely
created this website to inform you of our progress
While we have our own interests at heart, this campaign should be shared between all of us and we need your support:
donate or help raise funds for the campaign - this is going to be a long haul and if we start to get into legal fees we will need all the support we can get
become a 'warden' for your street to help circulate leaflets, or
contribute your professional skills
Be a CAMEL campaigner today!
The Betchworth & Buckland Society has agreed to act as treasurer to CAMEL, and manage funds in separate accounts. We also respect that funding donations can be directed, at the wish of the donor, to either support the case against PMZ55 Betchworth, or PMZ60 Buckland - or the case against both. If you specify your interest when you give a donation, your wishes will be respected. The Society will produce separate auditable accounts for CAMEL, as a sub-account of the B&B Society.
