OPENCAST mine plans for Bickershaw will be discussed on Monday at a 7pm meeting in Bickershaw Cricket Club, Bolton House Road.
Meeting and anti-mining petition organiser Tommy Field, of Bolton House Road, has invited MP-hopefuls, councillors, NUM and school leaders.
Mr Field said:"My main contention is the environmental impact Rackwood Colliery Company's mining plans would have. People are welcome to come and see what is in store and air their views.
"Hopefully we will be able to fight these proposals which threaten wildlife and our surroundings."
