Tonight from BBC West The Cheddar Report
Cheddar, famous for cheese and strawberries and for the Gorge which is the outstanding natural feature of the Mendips, faces a dilemma. A lime kiln built in the quarry at Batts Combe, a hill that overlooks the village, is noisy and spreads dust over the nearby countryside. Are the effects on the environment too high a price to pay for jobs?
How industrial can Cheddar become without suffering permanent damage? To what extent is Cheddar's dilemma one for us all?
