First new UK coal mine in 30 years: Michael Gove faces backlash from environmental campaigners | Levelling-Up Secretary Michael Gove has provoked anger from environmental campaigners by approving a controversial new coal mine in Cumbria. He granted planning permission for what would be the first new site in the UK in 30 years after years of delay from the Government. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities said the coal will be used for the production of steel and not for power generation. Friends of the Earth described it as an “appalling decision”.
