Fantastic news!! Well done KendalTransition and Friends of the Earth! I am overjoyed for you, for the community and for the climate
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 ๐๐๐
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 ๐

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 arenโt 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-minโฆ
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 ๐ฅ
Now that the Cumbrian coalmine's been ruled illegal, Angela Rayner Ed Miliband Josh MacAlister MP Markus Campbell-Savours MP let's have money from GBEnergy to implement the CAfS CAfS Plan for green jobs: renewables & home insulation. AS A MATTER OF URGENCY!! Extinction Rebellion UK ๐ XR-South Lakes
