Stirring up the natives

Our village is quite large as far a Devon villages go and nestles in the lovely Culme Valley. However, just over the hill has been a gravel extraction site and next to that a landfill site. Both have applied to be extended to more than double their present size. This will bring the sites a lot closer and within sight of the village.
So to stir the natives up, I have designed this poster and sent it to a few key people.
I decided the most striking image would be one from Google Earth as most residents simply don't realise how large these sites will be and how much larger there are planning to be.
Using language like 'nosey neighbours' in a close knit village is deliberately provocative. I am also aware that planners can be devious at getting applications through the system and although they say, we as a county need more gravel and landfill, I think there is more to it than that, therefore one aim of my poster is to get people to ask questions of the council.
So far feed back has been good.
