1 The majority of non-aggregate reserves are located in the Vale of Glamorgan and these have been excluded from reserve figures. In other authorities, aggregate reserve figures may include some non-aggregate reserves. It is important to note that some non- aggregate reserves may contain aggregate reserves and vice versa, and the end-use changes with the market. 2 Crushed rock landbanks are determined using the average production figures over the last 3 years 2008-2010, and dividing the 3 reserves by the annual average production.
