Sir – The proposed York potash mine near Whitby should be supported. It is an area where jobs are needed and the mine will bring much-needed money to the area, which will benefit the whole community.
The site is on the edge of the North York Moors National Park and with careful planning and screening will have little effect. The North York Moors National Park and The North York Moors Association are right to be concerned, but they should work constructively with York Potash to ensure a speedy decision for this excellent proposal.
