A local campaign group is fighting UK Coal’s plans for an opencast mine near Measham in North West Leicestershire. The Minorca Opencast Protest Group (MOPG) oppose the company’s plans for a mile long mine and the extraction of 1.25m tonnes of coal over 4 1/2 years. UK Coal are already failing to meet requirements to restore a site in nearby Ashby de la Zouch to agricultural land and MOPG fear that this will happen again.
