ON THURSDAY AUGUST 12^TH, MEASHAM PARISH COUNCIL WILL DECIDE ON WHETHER OR NOT TO STILL OPPOSE UK COAL’s MINORCA APPLICATION.

THE MEETING STARTS AT ST LAURENCE CHURCH HALL FROM 7.00PM

WE NEED AS MANY PEOPLE THERE AS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY FROM DIFFERENT AREAS OF MEASHAM, TO SHOW HOW WIDESPREAD THE OPPOSITION TO THIS PLAN IS.

TO HELP WITH RAISING OBJECTIONS TO THIS PLANNING PROPOSAL HERE ARE SOME POINTS FOR GUIDANCE:

UK COAL HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY ANSWERS TO MOPG’S OBJECTIONS ABOUT

• THE NEGATIVE EFFEECT ON THE LOCAL ECONOMY (see pages 27-34 of the 2009 MOPG RESPONSE DOCCUMENT)
