The Coal Authority podcast

By Lee Kilby

The UK's mining legacy can have a profound impact on the people, environment and property of our three nations. The Coal Authority is responsible for managing this legacy and the unique challenges it represents.

As over 25% of homes and properties in the UK are on the coalfield, we hope that our podcasts will help raise awareness and understanding of our work - and be interesting!
