Had a look on the NWest ceefax and teletext. No mention of it there as yet. I'll check later on (and keep all fiddly bits crossed it's true!) 8^)
the article says,
Planning permission granted 50 years ago can still stand-- a mining company planned to quarry in the peak district national park with rights issued last century. After protests, it's now agreed to mine elsewhere.
Brilliant!!! TM
