Mansfield Quarry: New Stabilization Works Needed
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Mansfield District Council faces a £600,000 bill for further stabilization work at an old quarry, following a series of landslides that have threatened nearby homes. Despite previous repairs and permanent stabilization efforts, geology experts now advise additional work to prevent future risks. The quarry, once a sandstone extraction site, now has a housing estate built on it, with cliff faces directly overlooking some homes. The council, which owns the land, maintains that the estate was built according to planning conditions, but an independent investigation suggests otherwise. The new works, expected to begin in late January, are part of a planned program to improve long-term protection and management of the cliff face.
