Block the opening of a new coal mine Neath Port Talbot.
Coal mining no longer has a place in society where there is now a plethora of renewable options. Climate change affects us all and Coal is a major contributor. The UK Government has a strategy to reduce Greenhouse gasses by 80%, the opening of a new coal mine contradicts this strategy.
