RockETS stands for Rock Environmental Treatment Scheme, and for 6 years the scheme distributed funding from the Government’s Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund to projects that reduced the effects of aggregate extraction in Devon (including Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks, and Plymouth and Torbay Unitary Authorities). Devon County Council ran its final year of RockETS funding of £110,000 up until March 2011.
