I agree that having coal mines on our doorstep will cause certain issues….however can’t we also see a bit of positive side to these proposed mines, less unemployment which means the people sitting at home without employment could benefit and have jobs and incomes to feed and support their families.
Newcastle needs new job opportunities and these proposed mines are perfect to create employment.
Why can’t the complainers start seeing some kind of positivity in the situation.
How many local people are you banking on the mine employing and in what positions ?
