This coal tip slip should send shockwaves all the way to Westminster. We've warned them about the risk these tips pose to our communities. They must pay to clear the tips, once and for all. What else is it going to take?

My dad was a landslide expert and he came to South Wales after the disaster to work on stabilising tips. Even to this day we have coal tips collapsing in South Wales. Our industrial past still haunts us and dealing with them is an expensive task. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-5163…
