A new open-cast coal mine site is about to get underway in beautiful Derbyshire. unless we stop it now.
What's going on?
Lodge House site, which is east of the village of the Derbyshire village of Smalley, is one of seven sites that UK Coal is to open-cast. The area is rich with wildlife and backs onto Shipley Country Park. It is about to be devastated, despite objections from local councils, residents and local environmental groups. The Secretary of State granted planning permission in 2007 and work is to commence any day now.
To combat open-cast mining a new action group "Leave it in the Ground" has formed, supported by Earth First! with a noise demo on Monday 9th June. Help us send the message loud and clear to UK Coal to leave it in the ground!
Meet: 12 noon at Doncaster train station.
There will be lifts to UK Coal's HQ - but bring transport if you can.
