Transport







Aggregate mineral carried by road



2007: 200,000,000 tonnes (GB)

Decrease in tonnage carried by road brings benefits in terms of reduced emissions and disturbance to communities. However, when comparing these figures to those of rail and water transport, it would indicate that this reduction is not through use of alternative methods of transportation, but due to an overall reduction in tonnage to be transported.

?

Seek alternatives to road transport where possible.

Data shows negative trend over time, with increased road distances and reduced rail and water distances. However, data does not show total distance travelled by each method. The lesser distances for rail and water may be a reflection of an increased number of journeys, but over shorter distances.

Current reserves are adequate but longer term replacements will be needed during life of next plan.  Production levels are low but this is likely to reflect recession.
