Stop Fracking in Northern IrelandHorizontal hydraulic fracturing, ‘fracking’, is a way of extracting oil and/or gas. Water, sand and toxic chemicals are injected at high pressure into underground rocks to shatter them. This releases the gas/oil which can be collected. But investing in carbon-intensive fossil fuels is a distraction from the need to decarbonise our electricity supply. And it's hazardous. Studies show that fracking pollutes water supplies (with arsenic and lead), causes earthquakes, and spoils local communities. And there are nightmare stories coming form the States. Like in the town of Dimock, PA, residents have reported their water turning so brown that it stains crockery. Their water was later found to contain methane, and a host of toxic chemicals. But it gets worse. "My son had sores up and down his legs from the water." " My daughter... would have to get out the of the shower and lay on the floor." Those are the words from Greg Saunter, a local resident, whose water supply was shut off for his own good. He cannot shower in his own home. Or drink water out of his taps. Fracking has ruined his life. It cannot happen here. We call on the council to preserve the quality of life of its residents, and reject all planning applications for fracking.35 of 100 Signatures

Save DungenessDungeness is the UK's only official desert. Its flooded gravel pits are invaluable nature reserves. Its unique human geography has led it in recent years to become home to a thriving artistic community. In its wider context, The Romney Marsh is a timeless haven of ancient churches and marshland farming, which gave the world its particular breed of sheep. Allowing this expansion to go ahead is perverse and completely unnecessary with Manston capable of taking passenger jets and the Marsh infrastructure unsuited to a growth in road traffic. The developer's promise of jobs is a chimera as any possibilities for locals will be limited to a few cleaning and catering posts and will be outweighed by the losses in the tourist trade. This corner of an already overdeveloped south-east deserves to be valued; for its cultural, environmental and aesthetic importance. It's beauty may be unconventional but this makes its conservation so much more vital. Please support this petition.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Whittle
