High Risk Coal Tips

The request was refused by Welsh Government.

Dear Welsh Government,

Following the announcement that there are around 300 coal tips in Wales that are classed as "High Risk".

Could you disclose the location of said "High Risk" coal tips in the RCT area.

I live near a Coal Tip and have concerns surrounding the safety of myself and my neighbours.

Could you therefore send me the following:
1- location of the 64 coal tips in RCT (in map view if possible)
2- how many of the 64 are based in the Rhondda
3- how are WG and UK Govt prioritising ensuring the safety of the coal tips?

Yours faithfully,

S Jones

Welsh Government

Dear Welsh Government,

Yours faithfully,
