Garry Morris Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 A new cement terminal is planned for Plymouth on a rail connected quay where access tracks are already in place. Plymouth does not want extra heavy lorries using the roads and it is environmentally unacceptable to increase such heavy loads onto a stressed system.The Cattedown terminal will bring huge tonnages of cement into silos by ship for onward transit. Can we all look forward to developments? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
