“I bought it because I wanted to look out over the view and the beautiful horses,” she said. “I started getting people coming through, and had to tell them about the quarry – I’ve had two people roll over because of it.” Johnson said along with the residents, there were three pre-schools, a school and two rest homes all in the vicinity of the proposed quarry which would be adversely affected. “It’s just ridiculous. The Government needs to put regulations in around the proximity of quarries to residential areas.” EMMA DANGERFIELD/Stuff Sue Johnson has dropped her house price but is still having trouble finding anyone who wants to buy near the proposed quarry.
