Rejected petition Stop plans for a new coal mine in Cumbria

A debate should be had in parliament about the environmental impact of a new coal mine in Cumbria. This petition and others should be used as evidence that the public do not support this new mine.

More details

Coal mining damages the climate and moves Britain further from its net zero target. It reduces our ability to lobby other countries to mitigate the effects of climate change.
