Does the Energy Bill Herald An End To Opencast Mining?
05-12-2012 15:29
LAON's 17th Press Release analyses what the effect of implementing the 2012 Energy Bill will be on the UK Surface Mine Coal Industry. The prognosis is that it faces medium to long term decline. As a consequence, over time, the strength of the current 'Need for Coal' arguments will slowly weaken. However, it may not come soon enough to prevent two new 9 and 10m tonne surface mines from being developed, one in Scotland and the other in Wales.Interview With Militant Prisoner John Bowden by From Here On In

The Clause 21 Growth and Infrastructure Bill Threat: More Info
01-12-2012 15:54
'If the Government gets it's way, are we likely to get more 'mothballed'opencast sites pock-marking our countryside'On Tuesday, the HoC Growth and Infrastructure Public Bill Committee are likely to debate Clause 21 of the Bill to which we have lodged an objection.
This press release highlights what might be at stake if the Government pushes ahead with its plans to ease the means by which planning permission for new opencast sites can be given for new surface mine sites, just when the UK Coal Industry, increasingly reliant on surfaced mined coal, experiences a financial crisis and a significant decline in the UK's ability to burn coal. We may indeed be left with a pock-marked countryside as a consequence.
Victimisation of students forces UCL occupation to withdraw

The occupation was established in protest at UCL’s plan to open a new campus in Stratford, east London. The development of the campus would require the demolition of the Carpenters’ Estate, and the eviction of hundreds of council tenants from their homes. Robin Wales, the Labour executive mayor of Newham, has defended the plans. Among his many justifications, he has said: “you find people who say it’s their chance to move to Southend.”

The plug for the Commission, one of a number by local Councils, claims the object to be "looking at how to improve equality outcomes in their areas."So is that another hype or is that part of a sinister agenda like making the Rightwing attacks on Society acceptable?
