Aggregate Industries has appointed Shelley Frost as its new Head of Sustainability, a post that's been vacant since February. "Ms Frost joins the company from Lafarge where she held the position of regional director of environment and public affairs in Northern and Central Europe". She said:
Aggregate Industries is passionate about sustainability and committed to performing at the highest standards to minimise our impact on people, the environment and the economy. We are already leading the way in many of these fields and I take pride in working for such a forward thinking company.
This is the same forward thinking company that only now - after almost 50 years of ownership - is working out how to quarry Straitgate Farm.
Locals will of course scrutinise the impact that any quarry at Straitgate will have on people, the environment and local economy if or when a planning application transpires.
