The government has announced proposals to fast-track fracking. Exploratory drilling would be exempt from the need to apply for planning permission, like putting up a garden shed.
This would take power away from local councils even though they have to deal with the fall out from fracking in their communities.
We need to show the government that local communities across the country are united in their opposition to this power grab.
Can you ask your local councillor to sign our open letter against this disastrous policy? You can edit the message to make it relevant to your area.
