Welcome to STOP! Stop The Opencast Plans – in this website you’ll find all the latest information about the campaign opposing Scottish Coal’s plans to mine an extra 5.4 million tonnes of coal over at least a 10 year period from Glentaggart East (4 million tonnes), Auldton Heights (420,000 tonnes) and the Northern Extension to Broken Cross (1 million tonnes), as well as their plans to mine Happendon Wood and land West of Poniel as part of their “mixed use development”. With just another broken promise, Scottish Coal have now submitted the Glantaggart East application separately, and 5 months late. Please object to this application here.
