FRACKING SHAME
9 Dec 2022
Surrey at risk of 16 new fracking sites after Conservatives give the green light.
Surrey was stunned by the Conservative government's decision to reverse the ban on fracking.
Oil and gas barons from around the world are already queuing up to drill in the Surrey countryside, starting with land around Guildford.
The Liberal Democrats are leading calls against fracking in Surrey. Lib Dem campaigner for Guildford Zöe Franklin said: "Fracking is I'll do nothing to bring down energy bills. Yet the Conservatives are once again ignoring local people and the science."
"Fracking involves significant drilling, that risks causing earthquakes and destroying the local environment"
"People in Surrey 'treated like guinea pigs' by lifting ban on fracking." - Surrey Live, 22nd Sep 2022
