NANC have learned that the Highways Agency have apparently sold land to ‘a mining company’. This land is from where the M1 was widened in Nottinghamshire and is the site of a former depot. Of course we have to check this and have asked for confirmation of this from the Highways Agency. We have also been told that a woman recently rang up and asked the planning department what the closest distance to a house that an open cast mine could be. We are not sure if there is one but we will find out and post it here.
