We do have bad news that Cumbria County Council’s officers have recommended approval of the first deep coal mine in 30 years (there are conditions but even so).
I will be speaking at the meeting on 19th March in Kendal on behalf of Keep Cumbrian Coal in the Hole to oppose this diabolic plan and hope that folk with join us in demonstrating opposition.
We will meet outside Cumbria County Council Offices in Kendal (where folk can also get married) from 8.45 to visibly show our opposition to this crazy plan. There is a facebook group for the demo here
You can write and show opposition too up till the date of the meeting.
One way to do this is to send a tweet to the Monarch who has entered into an arrangement with the Developers, West Cumbria Mining.
My tweet:
@RoyalFamilyPlease scrap the arrangement with West Cumbria Mining for the first deep coal mine in 30 years. The Crown own the subsea mineral rights and have the authority and wherewithal to prevent this rape of the Irish Sea 8km from Sellafield. Thanks!!
Please send your own tweet (best keep it polite) to the Monarch
There is more info about the totally dodgy arrangement between the Monarchy and West Cumbria Mining here
Also Thank you so much if you have signed the petition Keep Cumbrian Coal in the Hole (its too near Sellafield!), can you please help spread the word by forwarding the link below to your friends? This petition and this terrible plan has recieved so very little scrutiny from the mainstream!
