400 have now signed the Minorca Petition

Steve Leary | 07.06.2010 17:14

A brief report on how well the petition asking for a decision on UK Coal's Minorca Opencast application is going + news non a boost in membership.

MOPG's 59th Press Release:

People around the proposed Minorca Opencast mine site are showing that they are fed up with waiting for a decision on whether to grant planning permission or not by signing up for a decision in their hundreds.
This means that pensioners Phil Owen and Bob Walsh will be carrying the hopes of many people when they do their trek to take this petition to Leicestershire County Hall on June 17th in time for a meeting of the Council’s Development Control and Regulatory Board meeting starting at 2 pm that afternoon.
Steve Leary, Spokesperson for The Minorca Opencast Protest Group (MOPG), who has been out canvassing roads in Measham near to the site said.
“There is no doubt that when you explain the situation to people they think we have waited long enough for this decision and that is why we have gained so many signatures. In addition, I also sense that as people are made aware of the possible consequences of having an opencast mine so near to where they live they are keen to join MOPG. So far over the last few weeks we have seen the largest number of new members join MOPG, over 20 so far, since August last year.”

indecisiveness is good.

It's a drain on capitalism. The people who are bothered by it are those with "money" to lose, like the mining corporation. They can't even get on with the business of appealing the decision until it is made. Too much of this would not be good for share prices. Would any one want to invest in a business not knowing wether it will expand or not ? And of cause those with properties to sell near by will suffer property blight ! Who would want to buy a house, not knowing what is going to happen to it. Tell the council to take as long as they like, and a bit longer. Important decisions can't be made in a hurry.
