Stop fracking at Tinker Lane in Nottinghamshire

Please don't allow planning permission for exploratory borehole well site on Tinker Lane - A634 Blyth, Barnby Moor and Torworth.

Why is this important?

It will ultimately lead to the development of a well site that will be hydraulically fracked.
I am a mother and I believe that we all have a responsibility to protect our children and our future.

The independent Climate Change Committee’s (CCC) study of the environmental impact of the shale gas technology has still not been published despite a legal requirement to do so.
The CCC report could have a material impact on the planning application if it is been made public in time.
Under Section 49 of the new Infrastructure Act 2015, the Government must seek independent advice from Lord Deben’s Committee on whether shale gas production can be compatible with future carbon emissions targets.
Barry Gardiner, Shadow Minister for Energy and Climate Change, said “The Government is now losing the trust of the public on this issue who can see that the Energy Secretary has been sitting on this independent report for 56 days whilst simultaneously threatening to impose fracking on communities against their will.”

Planning Application Number 3524

How it will be delivered

I will deliver the signatures of support to stop planning in person and Nottinghamshire County Council and Bassetlaw District Council

A634, Retford DN22
