Nine Ladies - Protest Not Over Yet

"Our protest site must and will continue to exist in order to protect
our beautiful hillside"  Nine Ladies Protest Site

Last week the High Court gave its verdict regarding the classification
of the quarries at Lees Cross and Endcliffe in the Derbyshire Peaks. The
quarries are now (or still) officially dormant. However according to the
Nine Ladies protest site this does not mean that victory in the fight
to protect the woodland and the stone circle has been secured.  

Under the ruling the quarries cannot reopen until the peak park have
agreed a set of working conditions for them. Stancliffe Stone still have
the permission to quarry from 1952, and the peak park still have the
power to revoke the permission, or to impose such restrictions that the
re opening of the quarries would be financially unviable.  So until
there is no possibility that Stancliffe can quarry the protest appears
set to continue.

nine ladies no real victory
