The Coal Authority is accused of jeopardising plans to turn Clipstone Colliery into a mining museum
The owner of a former colliery in Nottinghamshire says an industry body is jeopardising plans for the site.
However, he says the Coal Authority, which is spending more than £1m making the site safe, has gone back on promises to restore heritage assets. Mr Mills said workers were about to concrete over the pit shaft rather than create an opening to show how it used to be. Mr Mills said the Coal Authority had also promised to restore the cage which took miners underground, but work had not yet begun."I want to see progress," he said."We need to see the site developed, we need to see investment in the village and falling out over these little niggles isn't helping anybody."
