Is North Leeward taken for granted?
Editor: The Richmond quarry consultation came after news broke and lease agreement was signed, not before.
We all are aware of the many discussions and opposition to the operation. The current representative and his party while in opposition heavily opposed it and promised to deal with it.
Less than six months in government, sand mining operation started secretly. Again, no consultation until after operations started. So, is North Leeward taken for granted?
Yes, millions can be made from that operation, but we are yet to know about the contract. We are yet to know how it would benefit North Leeward. There are many unanswered questions and too much secrecy.
Hence, the question: “ Is North Leeward taken for granted?”.
