We have been made aware of a planning application just across the river on the Gateshead side to expand Tarmac’s roadstone operations and to build a feed hopper and hot storage unit. Although its not in our direct view it may well add further dust pollution not to mention potential pollution into the river. If you wish to learn more or comment you can do so here
