at this dropIn Pit stop Lobby group formed ARNOLD A small group of north Halton residents concerned about their property rights in the face of lantT demands by the aggregate Industry have formed them selves into a lobby group Operating under the name Escarp ment Heritage the res idents are now studying the many routes they hope to use to protest against a proposed amendment to Hallon Region official plan We are not at this moment fighting the Aggregate Producer Group but we are very much opposed to the sloppy proposals and policies of the Ministry of Nat ural Resources regard this matter said Cyril Jenkins chair man of the new association Mr Jenkins said the group currently does not have an alternative to offer to the proposals of s planning department but that will depend largely on what happens In the near future The residents of north Milton and south Hills arc concerned about a proposed amendment to the Reg tonal official plan that would freeze up to 14 acres of land In their area for the exclusive future use of quarries Mr Jenkins said a petition against the Regional proposal has already been signed by residents of the area and further action is be ing planned Among the concerns being raised by the residents In addition to the negative effect a neighboring quarry would have on their already high property values li the lack of rehabilitation for worked out quarries We are very disgusted with what has not been done In past he said These operators have simply raped the land the current amend ment to the official plan which regional negotiated with local quarry owners has been shelved in definitely by Regional Council pending final approval of the new Ontario Aggregates Act and the Niagara Escarpment Plan
