Hi Everyone

Good news for Druridge Bay from Reuters.

*Britain refuses permission for new coal mine in northeast England*

"LONDON (Reuters) - The British government has refused to allow a new 
open cast coal mine to be built in northeastern England, the minister 
for local government said on Friday.

Northumberland County Council agreed last year that developer The Banks 
Group could extract 3 million tonnes of coal by cutting an open cast, or 
surface mine, near Druridge Bay, Highthorn.

However, minister Sajid Javid rejected the application on Friday 
following a public inquiry, government documents show. "
