"For those unfamiliar with our situation we are facing an exploratory drilling application near our village and with the support of the two local parish councils involved we are fighting the application. The deadline for objections is 20th June and the committee date for the decision is set for 22 July 2014. We would be very grateful for any support for objections. The planning reference is WSCC/083/13/KD. If you wish to see a guide to what to object to please consult our website www.no-drilling.co.uk for information."

Frack Free Sussex

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.
