PROTESTORS have gathered to make their feelings known over a controversial plan to extend a quarry in Caerphilly county borough.
The matter is set to be considered at the council's headquarters at Penallta House this evening, with councillors recommending it be approved.
But campaigners have voiced their concens over the scheme with shouts of “clear air for everyone” over frustration dust caused by work at Bryn quarry is affecting their livelihood.
