Longstone Edge is a beautiful three-mile-long ancient limestone ridge in the Peak District National Park, prominently situated within sight of Chatsworth House and Bakewell, which is being destroyed by limestone quarrying.
A lengthy legal battle to try to halt this carnage has recently been lost. The High Court has ruled that the owners may take as much limestone as they like, for the next 34 years.
A massive scar is being created in the heart of unspoilt scenery in the second most-visited national park in the world. This must not be allowed to happen.
If you believe that saving our National Park is as important as we do, please take a few moments to write to your Member of Parliament to ask the Government to step in. This will make a difference!

How You Can Help
The most important task now is to pressure Secretary of State for the Environment Hilary Benn to provide funds to buy out the owner's mineral rights. Please write to your Member of Parliament to ask the Government to step in. If you can do more, we need help with a wide array of tasks, or you can make a donation towards our campaigning activities.
