Disapprove plans to frack in North Yorkshire

Petition Details

Plans to frack just half a mile from the picturesque North Yorkshire village have been approved by North Yorkshire County Council, despite 4000-strong opposition. This isn't ruling on popular opinion; instead this is elitism and these plans have to be disapproved, for the safety of the local people.

Additional Information

Campaigners have reacted with fury and dismay after North Yorkshire county councillors approved plans to carry out hydraulic fracturing at Kirby Misperton, near Malton. The eleven-member Planning Committee voted 7 votes to 4 to grant planning permission to Third Energy to frack just ½ mile from the picturesque North Yorkshire village. Over 1,000 people attended an anti-fracking rally outside the meeting at County Hall on Friday 20th at Northallerton, but to no avail.
