Giant cement works chimney faces date with destiny.
Work to demolish Tarmac’s former cement works at Westbury – including the 122-metre chimney – is due to commence in the next few weeks with Cuddy Group having secured the contract.
The site, which was mothballed in 2009 and is currently owned by Tarmac, includes two kilns and an adjoining chalk pit and it is hoped the demolition of the buildings will provide a more attractive site for potential developers and prepare it for alternative uses.
The company will demolish all buildings that no longer have an operational use while the existing distribution operations will remain in use and unchanged.
