Details on all 327 'high-risk' coal tips in South Wales should be publicly available. All high-risk tips should be made more safe.

In memory of Aberfan, the continuing dangers of coal tips in south Wales are highlighted online and on TV with these reports on CGTN Europe. Thanks for the cooperation.

A proposal to line this stream with a steel renforced concrete gabion was proposed in 1974 by the NCB commissioned Halcrow Reports but it never happened.
Directly below this stream, which cuts through the category D high-risk coal tip, is #Ynyshir Junior School. Worrying?
This quoted post is unavailable.
Three years after the #Tylorstown #coalslide and the @WelshGovernment still won’t tell us where the 327 high-risk coal tips are in South Wales.
Their reclaimed natural beauty belies a much less stable ‘natural’ landmark.
‘Old Smokey’ tonight.

We still don’t know where the high-risk tips are throughout #Wales. We now know there are 327.
@WGClimateChange When will you release the details? Are you physically doing anything today to improve the safety of the 60% of high-risk tips which are privately owned? No?
And we till haven’t been told where the 327 high-risk tips are. Why not? FOI requests by many people have all been declined.

Coal tip update 👇
The Welsh Government has launched its White Paper on coal tip safety today, but the Climate Minister confirmed that they still don't know when the precise location of our 327 high-risk tips will be made public. thenational.wales/environmen…

Anything less than reclamation is an insult to our environment at a time when @WGClimateChange are moving toward environmental sustainability.
If they fall short, they show the Valleys how little consideration they truly have for the environment and the safety of the public.

Climate change: Flooding is 'the new reality'
@LeriMeg is right: @RCTCouncil Section 19 Flood reports have not provided answers.
Businesses and homeowners are unable to get flood insurance. #Coaltips remain unpublished. @Heledd_Plaid bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-6038…
