The decision is in...this is NO TIME FOR A COALMINE! Thanks to KendalTransition Friends of the Earth and everyone who has supported this historic fight ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

We hope this decision means that the days of approving fossil fuel production without accounting for its emissions are behind us. The government must now prioritise public investment to support green jobs in Cumbria.

We won! Planning permission for the UK's first deep coal mine in 30 years has been quashed. The court agreed with Friends of the Earth and KendalTransition that lifetime emissions of the Whitehaven mine (mostly from burning coal) weren't properly considered and approval was unlawful ๐Ÿ‘‡

BREAKING: High court blocks Cumbria plan for first new UK coalmine in 30 years. Well done to Friends of the Earth & South Lakes Action for taking the case. UK govt now needs to ensure communities right across country arenโ€™t left with choice of high-carbon jobs or no jobs.

"A huge victory for our environment." We're thrilled the High Court quashed planning permission for this harmful and unnecessary mine. West Cumbria must be at the forefront of a fair, green transition and benefit from green jobs that investment can bring: news.sky.com/story/coal-minโ€ฆ

Approval for the Whitehaven coal mine has been dashed by Justice Holgate in the High court today as "legally flawed" on all bar one issue raised by KendalTransition & Friends of the Earth ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Hear from one of our campaigners, Tony Bosworth, outside the High Court earlier today when we received the news that planning permission for the Cumbrian coal mine had been quashed. Tony explains what this ruling means and what we hope will happen next...
