We need an independent inquiry into Ffos y Fran to assess environmental impact

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Government need to ascertain the roles and accountabilities that have led to Ffos Y Fran opencast not being properly reinstated as per the original plan.
We also need to understand what environmental impacts this is and could cause in its current state

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We have to reject petitions that call for action at a local level.
