Legal action over mine restoration 'refusal'
Cynon Valley Leader
|April 24, 2025
AN ACTION group plans to take a coal-mining firm to court over its alleged refusal to pay for the restoration of the UK's last opencast coal mine.
The Ffos-y-Fran site in Merthyr Tydfil operated between 2007 and 2023 by Merthyr (South Wales) Ltd. In the time when it was operational, nearly 11 million tonnes of coal was extracted from the huge, 200m-deep site.
The Coal Action Network (CAN), a non-profit organisation that works towards ending the coal use in power generation, has now said it wants to take Merthyr (South Wales) Ltd to court because it is refusing to fund the restoration deal agreed.
In February 2025, Merthyr (South Wales) Ltd applied for a revised scheme for the final restoration of 285 hectares of land that had previously been part of the surface mine operations at Ffos-y-Fran.
