MPA concerned by WMRA proposals

摘要

The Mineral Products Association (MPA) has sounded a serious note of caution about the recent decision by the West Midlands Regional Assembly (WMRA) to change the way the future supply of sand and gravel is provided for in the region.rnUnder the WMRA proposals there would be a shift of provision away from Staffordshire and increases for all other parts of the region, most significantly in Shropshire and Herefordshire. The decision by WMRA follows an 18-month campaign by residents around Lichfield aiming to prevent new quarries being opened.
