Government fails to protect communities from fracking – raise your concerns with the Secretary of State
Communities left on the side-lines – not protected or consulted about the threat of fracking. Following the release of the new planning guidance on fracking it’s clear that the Government is paying little attention to communities.
The Government’s guidance has failed to:
- Protect communities
Despite the mounting evidence on the polluting impacts of shale gas the guidance doesn’t protect communities.
- Consult
Their failure to issue a consultation reflects their lack of concern for what local people, local authorities and experts think.
- Show the whole picture
Local authorities aren’t encouraged to consider the full impacts of fracking on climate change, pollution and water.
Please write to your MP asking them to write to the Secretary of State of Communities and Local Government about your concerns.
It’s a three step process:
- Find your local MP
- Choose a contact method
- Send a letter by email, fax or print out to post*
Thank you
