It is a national scandal that former miners in our community have had to fight so long to simply get the pension settlement they deserve.
Today, the Labour Government ends this injustice and delivers what is rightfully owed back to the 641 former miners in our community!
While the pits may have closed, the mineworks who worked to heat and fuel our nation for decades are finally getting the respect they deserve. Mining has long been central to our community, and I am proud that we are home to the National Coal Mining Museum
This is a victory for the relentless campaigning of the trustees, members, and coalfield communities, locally and nationally.
