Public right of way just lends to the rising costs of running these operations.
Yes, but i bet if they did not comply with this they would not have got the operational approvals they needed. It,s all about working with local communities to be a "good neighbor"
Yeah 100% Agree but it just shows that the Gov and local authority are more concerned with keeping a bunch of ramblers happy over the lively hood of 50 men. Not to mention the taxation rights and locally produced coal Benefits.
They would rarther import coal and see these men on the job seeker line.
Here they would just over ride that public right of way and lease the property to the mining company. Heck they have just sat back and watched ' Eagle' mountain disappear of the last few decades.
Imagine if UK Coal wanted to mine A mountain the Lake District Ha Ha Ha.
Quite agree with you Ross The trouble is that over here you always have a case of the 'tail wagging the dog' and thats why this country is falling to pieces!
