About
Banbury Depot
Tarmac has had a construction materials depot on land off Water Works Way for over 30 years. The site is close to the M40 and also connected by rail to one of the biggest quarries in the country, Mountsorrel.
The depot's location, close to the M40 and railway means the site can help provide construction materials for Banbury and the surrounding area.
Having been in operation in Banbury for so long, and with the significant investment in infrastructure in the local area, Tarmac need to improve their facilities on-site in order to meet demand
