Scottish Opencast Planned

Two years ago locals in S. Lanarkshire, Scotland campaigned against a proposed 488 hectare opencast coal mine. Everything went quiet. Then, with just 8 days notice and 2 days of access to planning documents, a council hearing was held. Best attempts were made to formulate a response but after much political mudslinging, and sidelining of local views the Labour Council passed the application by 20(ish) to 3.

Locals responded “while the democratic process is a farce, Direct Action is our response.” Watch this space, spread this news, and please be ready to help. Orrabest, fae Talamhites.
