NCC quarry proposal in Södra Sandby opposition

Overview

A proposal by the construction company NCC to establish a new quarry in Rögleskogen, Södra Sandby, has faced significant opposition from both local activists and municipal officials.

During a public consultation meeting, demonstrators protested the company’s presentation format. Led by local activist Pernilla Ström, attendees voted to demand a different structure for addressing expert questions, leading to verbal confrontations with NCC representatives.

In the political sphere, Lund’s Social Democratic municipal commissioner, Anders Almgren, has urged NCC to withdraw the application. Almgren noted that the company had previously faced a 2024 rejection from the Land and Environment Court regarding quarry expansion in the area. While acknowledging the demand for stone materials, Almgren suggested prioritizing recycling and alternative locations. The municipal executive board is expected to process the proposal on September 2.
