Thanks to Frack Off (UK) for all this information:

"Both companies have been hounded by community resistance over the last 6 months. IGas suffered over 3 months of delays and closures at their Barton Moss site, Greater Manchester where over £1.6million in policing costs were required to complete the drilling operation.

Dart especially has been on the back-foot, having been driven out of Australia, denied planning for their flagship Scottish operation and now facing a permanent resident encampment on the only land in England for which have full-permission to drill."

Government plans to allow fracking for gas and oil across the Sussex Weald. To be economically viable this would require thousands of wells to be drilled across our county. Our downland, meadowland, farmland and woodland would be subject to wide-scale industrialisation.

In the USA, towns near fracking sites have seen cancer rates rising, water supplies running out and the poisoning of land, livestock, pets and people by hazardous air pollutants. Water that was once pristine is now so contaminated with methane that it can be set alight. Industry studies show 5-7% of all new oil and gas wells leak and ALL wells will leak eventually.

Our water supply, which comes predominantly from the chalk aquifer, would be threatened.

Property values are falling in areas near drilling sites.

Even the energy secretary says fracking WON’T REDUCE ENERGY BILLS.
