Do you agree it%26#039;s wrong to callously destroy this beautiful English coastline? This question is about a strip of coastline in Portland, England, which despite being a protected World Heritage Site, is about to be quarried and ultimately destroyed using archaic (but valid) permissions granted back in 1951, when there was an urgent need for stone to aid war recovery.

This coastal strip contains unique wildlife habitats, is of rare archaeological value and attracts many tourists every year with it%26#039;s rugged beauty, a huge contributor to the local economy.

IF YOU AGREE THAT THE WORLD HERITAGE STATUS SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THE QUARRY RIGHTS and would like the government to step in and do something, then please SIGN THIS ONLINE PETITION.

Best answer to the first person who posts that they have signed - I hope that others will also be moved to do the same.

I can%26#039;t sign it since I%26#039;m not a British citizen. I%26#039;ll send the petition link to a bunch of English friends I have though. Good luck!
