Levitt Hage

Levitt Hage, a disused limestone quarry at Warmsworth, Doncaster, is now ready to be used as a landfill site..

The trees, flora and fauna which reclaimed the quarry over the last forty years, have been destroyed to make a level floor, two membranes have been laid on the quarry floor to try to reduce seepage into the watercourses. The River Don, which is within five metres of the quarry, will be devastated down to Hull, from the inevitable seepage and other disasters associated with landfill sites.

The south side of the Don is likely to be used as a dump site (an area of about 2 square miles from the Haff to Conisborough),. However, as the Haff site can only take a believed 2 year amount of waste from Derbyshire, Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster consumers (around 1 million people), there will then be ‘need’ for more sites and the availability of the other disused quarries on the south bank of the river, and other sites, will be investigated.

People are urged to look at the site, and get in touch with Doncaster EF! to help resist this madness.
