PAGE is an alliance of local parish councils representing a large rural area of south-east Oxfordshire who are opposed to the County Council Minerals and Waste Development Framework which is threatening the local area with massive gravel extraction plans.
PAGE was initially formed in 2003 when plans were drafted to extract gravel from an area of outstanding natural beauty in the Oxfordshire green belt. PAGE has always advocated an evidence-based approach to opposition, involving experts in the fields of archaeology, ecology, landscape impact, geology, hydrology, economics, agriculture and transport to prevent gravel extraction from devastating the local communities.
