Sabotage Raid on Yorkshire Quarry

Horton Quarry, owned by Hanson, is one of three huge quarries eating into this part of the National Park. It is on the fringes of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and a European Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The quarry mainly supplies roadstone. Most of the stone is moved within the quarry by two Terex TR45 trucks. These vehicles can transport up to 45 tons of stone per load, the wheels stand higher than a person, and the engine is about the size of a small car. Two TR45's had their oil filters removed and replaced with cylinders of grinding powder and left to destroy them selves. A few weeks later terex parts were seen on a wide loader heading away from the quarry. This action was taken as a stand against the destruction of our wild areas and the implications for wildlife of the climate chaos and construction/destruction of the new road building program. But mainly it was for the Rock Roses, rabbits and ravens we met on the way in. Take Action!
