Counting on … day 1.144

9th August 2023

Earlier I reported on the  Ffos-y-Fran open coal mine – https://greentau.org/2023/05/02/counting-on-day-1-108-2/. The mining of the coal – according to the terms of the licence should have stopped last September. Despite their best efforts, the company has not been given any permission to continue beyond that date and yet coal is still be taken out of the ground and away from the site every day. Llyr Gruffydd MS, who is chair of the Senedd’s Climate Change Committee has demanded answers from the Welsh Government over concerns about the extraction of coal at one of Europe’s biggest opencast mines.

Looking on line, this is his email address if you wish to ask what progress is being made to end this continuing extraction of coal:  llyr.Gruffydd@senedd.wales
