Campaign To Mark Former Collieries On Ordnance Survey Maps
EDM number 2181 in 2005-06, proposed by David Anderson on 16/05/2006.
That this House warmly welcomes the initiative led by young people from former mining communities to have all the former UK collieries marked on future Ordnance Survey maps with a scale of 1:25,000 with a pit wheel symbol; acknowledges that the pits have shaped both communities and the local landscape; believes it is important that they are recorded by Ordnance Survey in the same way as other archaeological and historical information; welcomes the positive response so far from Ordnance Survey to this campaign and the assurance that they will give the matter serious consideration; and looks forward to the history of the coal mining industry being permanently recorded on reference maps in the future.
This motion has been signed by a total of 88 MPs.
