Controversial plans to mine 900,000 tonnes of coal in the shadow of The Wrekin came under the national spotlight on the BBC radio show Any Questions.Controversial plans to mine 900,000 tonnes of coal in the shadow of The Wrekin came under the national spotlight on the BBC radio show Any Questions. The weekly debate show, chaired by Jonathan Dimbleby, last night came from Little Wenlock village hall. Questions from the audience were fielded by a guest panel featuring former Labour minister and veteran campaigner Tony Benn, author and journalist James Delingpole, former BBC chief political correspondent and then ITV political editor John Sergeant, and Ruth Lea, formerly director of the right wing think tank the Centre for Policy Studies and head of policy at the Institute of Directors. UK Coal is to mine at a site at Huntington Lane, close to the venue for last night's debate, and the operation has sparked fierce opposition, protesters having set up a makeshift camp nearby. The issue was raised on Any Questions by the clerk to Little Wenlock Parish Council, John Marcham, who asked if scarring the beautiful site by mining was too high a price to pay and whether nuclear fuel expansion should be pursued instead.

But the campaigners have vowed they will not budge and plan to stage a sit-in to stop the work starting. They are now seeking legal advice and bracing themselves for a bitter battle.

Coal scheme 'would destroy town future'

An opencast coal mine would destroy Telford's ambition of transforming itself from old industrial wasteland to a 21st century community, it was claimed today. An opencast coal mine would destroy Telford's ambition of transforming itself from old industrial wasteland to a 21st century community, it was claimed today. Business investors and families hoping to move to a bright, clean and modern town would go elsewhere because of the "vast hole" in the middle of the borough, objectors said. They also claimed plans to promote The Wrekin as a precious area for wildlife and tourism would be ruined by the "ugly black lunar landscape" created by mining. The points were made by a series of local councillors and residents during the public inquiry at the Holiday Inn, Telford Town Centre, into UK Coal's proposal to extract 900,000 tonnes of coal and 250,000 tonnes of fireclay from Huntington Lane. The inquiry continues. Read the full story in today's Shropshire Star

Opencast coal mine 'needed'

A proposed opencast coal mine in Telford would make a significant contribution to Britain's energy needs and cut the nation's reliance on Russian imports, it was claimed today. A proposed opencast coal mine in Telford would make a significant contribution to Britain's energy needs and cut the nation's reliance on Russian imports, it was claimed today. The low-sulphur coal sitting close to the surface at Huntington Lane would be the perfect fuel for Ironbridge Power Station – and the energy-producing equivalent of 141 giant wind turbines, said mining boss Phil Garner. He said Huntington coal would be far "greener" than transporting Siberian coal and would meet the Government's policy of maximising domestic reserves. He was giving evidence at the public inquiry at Gray's Hotel, Telford Town Centre, into UK Coal's desire to extract 900,000 tonnes of coal between New Works and Little Wenlock.
