Thousands of tons of shale were removed from Ramsdales (where Pennington Flash is)and used to cap the old tip.It was then grassed over.The problem is that gas will be given off for many years.The gas as now been piped to a Flare to be burned off,the Flare is now working so it shouldnt be long before the area can be fully open.Fingers crossed!!
