Coal Action Network is campaigning to get nature restored to the site of the recently closed Ffos-y-fran opencast coal mine in South Wales. The coal operator, Merthyr (South Wales) Ltd, mined illegally for around 15 months, pocketing millions in revenue, and now refuses to pay for the restoration promised to the local community since 2007! What's worse, Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is letting them get away with it.

We demand justice for nature and justice for local communities, both of which has suffered the terrible impacts of 16 years of opencast coal mining.
