Local Community
It is often the case that concrete supply chain production sites have close links with the local communities through the employment of local people and the use of local materials. However, because of the potential impacts from vehicle movements, dust and noise, some sites may be regarded as more relevant for having more formal local community liaison activities. ‘Relevant’ sites are defined by the industry as mineral extraction sites in the cement and aggregates sectors and also other specific operations that members consider to have a potential significant impact on the local community. Any production site that receives a level of complaints would also be considered a ‘relevant’ site.
