The local quarry has had its extraction consent chopped from 200k tonnes to 75k tonnes.
The deficit will have to be hauled from far away. Road wear & tear, fuel usage, traffic volumes, road making and concrete costs for buildings will all escalate.
As most houses seem to be on a concrete slab these days, I imagine new house prices will remain on the same trend as they are, now.
As for inflation - only one way!
