To: Mayor of London - Boris Johnson

Tell Boris, Don’t Frack London

Join us in calling on Boris Johnson to implement a moratorium on fracking in London until we have conclusive scientific evidence on possible health and environmental risks.

Why is this important?

Millions of Londoners are now at risk with 80% of London (within the M25) offered to frackers as part of the 14th round of licensing. London Local Energy Ltd have already applied for licenses to frack in areas including Harrow, Wembley, Camden and Notting Hill.

The plans would mean millions of us would be under threat from water pollution, toxic fumes and other dangers from this unproven technology. Despite this Mayor Boris Johnson has said that “if reserves of shale can be exploited in London, we should leave no stone unturned, or unfracked". This is from someone who's supposed to be representing and safeguarding the voices and best interests of the people of London.

If we speak up London can follow in the steps of New York which won a 5 year moratorium on fracking until state health officials have conclusive scientific evidence on possible health and environmental risks.

Fracking really is stoppable; 80% of recent fracking planning applications around the UK have been rejected by local councils. Now is the time for London to say no to fracking. Let’s act now to stop this disastrous and dangerous plan.
