• Our Quarry at Collace in Perthshire produces over 110,000 tonnes of coated and dry roadstone materials each year, for use in keeping Tayside's roads well maintained. 

If you are a charity or a constituted community group, and you think we could provide a service to you, then you may want to consider our Community Fund. We do the work for you, and the Community Fund picks up the cost up to the maximum of £500 for Fast-Track applications and up to £3,000 for Full applications.

Some of the things we could do for local communities include:- 

• Carrying out roads/footway improvements and repairs to community facilities such as community hall car parks, or a local pathway
• Digging trenches for rural community broadband schemes 
• Providing food or catering for a community or charity event
• Provision of signage via our Sign Shop for a range of community needs
• Provision of Traffic Management for a community event.
