What’s it like living near an active quarry ?

These phrases highlight the emotional and physical impact of the blasts, from fear and frustration to damage and noise.

These are statements from a private facebook group not intended for PR or sharing with Heidelberg. Can you imagine living like this ?

And if that wasn’t enough, imagine this cloud heading in your child’s direction just when school is ending for the day.

That was the worst blast we have had in some time.

The upstairs of my house shook and trembled under my feet with that blast as it has in the previous years of blasting .. but I’d say the blasts are 100% getting worse lately and it’s just a sign of what’s coming as the quarry expands
