The families of four miners who died when water flooded the Gleision drift mine say questions remain.
The Health and Safety Executive said it could not comment because the investigation into the inrush and subsequent trial were led by the police and Crown Prosecution Service.Lynette Powell, whose husband David celebrated his 50th birthday in the weeks before he died, said all she had was a temporary death certificate.
In their first media interview since the tragedy, Jake Wyatt, 68, and Nigel Evans, 49, spoke of alleged illegal workings in the mine, and said they felt authorities had failed to get to the bottom of what might have caused the four miners' deaths. Mr Reynolds has been working with Maria Seage, the co-owner of Gleision mine, to get more information on the HSE's role over the years and its subsequent investigation.He called on authorities to look into whether opportunities to improve safety at the mine prior to the inrush had been missed.
"With what we're finding in our investigation, a prior role investigation should have been undertaken, but wasn't."Lee Reynolds, a former surveyor for Gleision mine, has called on authorities to consider whether opportunities had been missed
