Straitgate Action Group

Straitgate Farm near Ottery St Mary in Devon was bought in 1965 in the hope it would yield 20 million tonnes of sand & gravel. Straitgate Action Group was formed in 2001 to oppose a quarry due to concerns over water supplies, ancient woodlands, protected species, road safety and more. After finally gaining permission for just 1 million tonnes on appeal, Holcim UK – formerly Aggregate Industries – abandoned its plans in 2025. This blog records the long path to victory.

Dear Aggregate Industries

Your #carbonfootprint affects other people. The world's poor contribute to only 1% of #CO2 but face 99% of #climatechange impact. #COP22 pic.twitter.com/zMyM5eBqry
