Work to fix unsafe quarry where huge rocks and boulders ‘fall from height’ was meant to be done by 2021 – but firm says it needs another TEN YEARS
16.08.2023 - 09:53 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A firm is asking for a further ten years to complete work on an unsafe quarry face which they originally said would be completed by 2021. Armstrongs Group operate Montcliffe Quarry, close to the West Pennine Moors and Rivington Pike, near Horwich.
Bolton Council’s planning committee will be asked this week to increase the period of time for stabilisation works at an unsafe part of the quarry by 10.5 years.

The end-date given by the applicant was February, 20, 2021, a deadline which passed two-and-half years ago.
A report to councillors, who will decide on the deadline extension on Thursday August 17, said: “The quarry operator has commenced the reprofiling works, however they have stated that there have been significant issues withworking the face that has hindered the operations and have meant that they have been unable to complete the works prior to the application expiring.
“As well as a reported 12 months delay owing to Covid-19 restrictions, the applicant states that the shale overburden and inter-burden present at the top of the quarry face has presented significant
