Petition to Welsh Government asking them to make their MTAN2 recommendations mandatory in Welsh planning law.

 

 

Hi All.
I’m look­ing for sup­port for a peti­tion a small anti open­cast group from Varteg, Pon­ty­pool has start­ed to Welsh Gov ask­ing them to make their MTAN2 rec­om­men­da­tion for a 500m buffer zone around open­cast mines manda­to­ry in Welsh plan­ning law. This action would ster­ilise 66% of the Welsh coal­field accord­ing to the Coal Author­i­ties fig­ures and would be a prece­dent to oth­er gov­ern­ments to val­ue the local pop­u­la­tions who live around min­er­al extrac­tion. 
Could I  ask you to help spread the peti­tion through you net­works?
