Frequently asked questions.

Which villages will be affected?

Whilst the industrial gas plant is proposed on land located between Gunby, Stainby and Sewstern, the impact will be much wider as farms 15 miles away from the site may become part of the scheme. Click here for a map of the proposed location.

Ironstone have stated that HGVs from the A1 will be directed through Colsterworth and Stainby. They have said less about traffic from the west but we believe that some residents living in villages on the B676, including Buckminster, Coston, Garthorpe and Saxby, would see an increase in HGV traffic passing through their villages.

The local community including those in Skillington, Stainby, Sewstern and Gunby have already been affected by aspects of this industrial approach to growing crops for fuel and have witnessed an increase in unsuitable vehicles, specifically HGVs, some with trailers attached, using country lanes and damaging grass verges.

It is likely that a second crop storage facility will also be used - Ironstone have not confirmed where this will be located - or which villages and roads will be affected by it.
