The @CoalAuthority Board Board visited the underground drainage tunnel at Aberfan Tip which we own, inspect & maintain. Water management is essential to tip safety. At no other tip are you more acutely aware of the importance of managing these sites effectively in perpetuity.

Wet weather on site in Nailsea today! Great to see @CoalAuthority & contractor work to cap a very old shaft on the Somerset coalfield & investigate options for treating the elaborate sister shaft. Important history here- engagement with the local heritage group has been important
