Telford Against New Coal (TANC) is a campaign group dedicated to calling a halt to the extraction and burning of coal in Telford, Shropshire and the UK as a whole.

TANC's website features information about the proposed open cast coal mine in Telford, local news about the campaign, and online actions where activists can voice their opposition to new coal.

"Climate change is the greatest issue we face and burning coal is the single biggest threat to the climate, so it’s very clear that coal needs to stay in the ground. It’s quite astonishing that in spite of this there are plans to dig up 900,000 tonnes of coal from the foot of the Wrekin and burn it in climate wrecking power stations!"
