Telford coal mine site left as an eyesore
A former mine at the foot of the landmark Wrekin is lying untouched, two years after work was completed.

The site was being used by UK Coal, but the company left the site in 2013.
Since then it has become an inconvenience for residents who claim they were told the land would be restored once the work was completed.
Nothing has happened and people living in the area say it is an eyesore for visitors and a daily problem for them. Included in the restoration plans was a footpath linking New Works and The Wrekin, which ramblers and dog walkers could use.
One resident Janet Mees-Robinson, who lives opposite the site at Arleston Hill, said she wants answers about what is going to happen to the site.
