PHASE 1 Meet The Team

• Throughout the nation, there has been a
  considerable rise in accidents and deaths in
  disused quarries due to youths trespassing.
  Concerned, the quarry officials have turned to
  the best environmental agents in the country
  Gells Angels.

PHASE 3 Rejuvenation Ideas
PHASE 3 Rejuvenation Ideas

• The Angels know that the best solution would be
  to make the disused quarries safe for other uses.
  They have focused on Dean Quarry in Derbyshire.
• A nature reserve?
• An outdoor adventure centre?
• A concert venue?
• Housing?
• A fishery?
• The Angels haven chosen these options to suit
  the space requirements and know that all of them
  have been successful before.

PHASE 4 Exploration- Nature Reserve -

• The Angels have looked into the conversion of a
  disused quarry into the famous Eden Project
  nature reserve and have seen how successful
  thats been.

• Advantages
• Has been done before can work.
• Brings tourism to nearby towns.
• Attractive idea for all ages.
• Cheaper than some of the other ideas.

PHASE 4 Exploration- Outdoor Adventure Centre -

• The Angels have found this to be a very popular
  idea with their fellow agents. The large spaces
  offered by quarries would be perfect for a centre
  like this after safety changes have been made.

• Advantages
• Brings tourism / schools.
• Popular among young children.
• Would create jobs.
• Would create educational opportunities in nearby
  towns.

PHASE 4 Exploration - Concert Venue -

• This is the idea that the Angels like the best.
  The quarry faces would amplify sound brilliantly
  and images could also be projected on to them.

• Advantages
• Suitable for all.
• Would create tourism/visitors.
• Wide range of uses from theatre and music to art
  displays.
• Would create jobs/money.
