Sumnall, a member of the Ashby Rural Council, told the RaVell.9l.olle meeting she had travelled from Packington to give a first-hand account of the effects of opencast mining. APATHY WARNING "I feel very strongly about opencast mining," she said, "but one of the strongest weapons of the Ministry of Fuel and Power Is apathy.
