Tiercel 6,986 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 There was a disaster and relief fund set up, and the government took £150,000 out of it, to take other spoil tips away. It took until 1997 for them to pay it back. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dark-destroyer-85 636 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Disgusting to think no man was jailed for it either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Yea first time i ever heard about it was my mum telling me. Must have been horrendous for the village and famlies. They got away with a lot of stuff in those days. I know health & safety can be a pain in the arse but pity there wasn't a proper set up back then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 This was gross neglect, the spoil tip had been complained about for years before it's collapse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like from last night program , that it could have been avoided , as they had land slide before , and nothing was done about it, it seems that human life as to be lost, before people will act terrible tragedy .!!
