What do environmental groups want now?
Environmental groups opposed the first application by Redland for a superquarry on Harris and continue to be opposed to the proposals. The proposal is socially and environmentally unsustainable and cannot be justified. Aggregate demand has not risen as predicted, and Scotland’s only other coastal superquarry is not operating at anywhere near capacity. The people of Harris have been living under the threat of this quarry for more than 12 years with the consequent uncertainty that this has caused for far too long. Lafarge should withdraw from the court actions and halt its proposals for a superquarry on Harris.
