Quarries ‘merge’ to extend life and jobs
ANGUS Council yesterday gave the go-ahead for plans to extend the working life of two quarries at Monifieth, near Dundee, by 30 years.
Under the proposals, Ardownie quarry, which is owned by Geddes Group, and Breedon Aggregates’ Ethiebeaton site will be merged into a single operation, which the two companies claimed would safeguard more than 50 direct jobs.
