Aggregate Industries - whose business is dependent on digging up rock - has lost its head geologist.
Eddie Bailey, who was Head of Geological Services and Land Survey, has played a central role in the company’s proposal for a quarry at Straitgate Farm since at least 2011. He was responsible for the design of the proposed quarry, and also the unorthodox seasonal scheme to quarry down to a modelled level of the maximum water table; a scheme that has caused much concern and controversy.
Eddie has, nevertheless, been a very personable member of the AI team, and has always been ready to meet with local people to explain the company’s plans.
Last month, he left the company for pastures new, "TBC".
We wish Eddie well in whatever he chooses to do next.
