Two scarecrows and an excavation company are together helping protect the world’s most endangered gull from harrier attacks at a North Canterbury breeding site.

"There will be no crushing, screening or washing of aggregates as the material will be transported away from site for processing".

This is taken from the report on the proposed Quarry at Rangiora Racecourse. Where is it to be processed then??? Will it be processed at the Tagarts site in Cones Road which is very close to all the new and old housing as well as the Rangiora Hospital in the adjacent area of River Road and Riverview Road and the housing area in the back of these streets.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me this?
