Posting by Chris G to NBBR - Tues 7th April

Gravel extraction has started again at some pace at MF. Its going out by the large lorry load every ten minutes or so from what has been an untouced area for the last couple of months.
Its being extracted from the old wader pit (east of the main body of water) it has driven what was around more into the NW inlet area.
Of course out of working hours things might return to normality but it could have some effect should it expand.
