Lafarge To Burn Tyres At Hope
Lafarge has applied for permanent permission to burn tyres at its Hope plant in Derbyshire. The application follows a successful trial early in the year and the company already uses tyre chippings at its other plants at Cauldon, Westbury and Dunbar. Lafarge will be undertaking a major public relations and information exercise with local residents.
Possibly the greatest cause for concern might be the possibility of increased traffic through the picturesque Hope Valley in the Peak National Park. However, the plant does have its own railhead and it may be possible to divert transport to the rail network from remote terminals..
