Waste Not - Want Not

摘要

Just outside the Yorkshire village of Methley, near Leeds, is a former quarry. For decades, Lafarge Aggregates (now Tarmac) had worked and won sand and gravel from the quarry, and on 2 April 2012 Leeds City Council (the relevant mineral and waste planning authority) granted planning permission for an extension to the quarry, permitting the extraction of a further 432,700 tonnes of material.
