Description
A new coal mine in the north west of England could bring much-needed jobs and investment to the area. However there are concerns from environmentalists about the impact on the climate.
The mine, in the Whitehaven area of Cumbria, is the first deep mine approved by the UK government for 30 years, and will provide fuel for steel-making.
Rowan Bridge travels to Whitehaven, the town next to the site of the mine, to hear the arguments for and against.
