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.
