In a week when the Government confirmed legislation to allow fracking under National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and went on to grant more licences for fracking, the landowners of the Castle Howard and Hovingham Estates, among others, have joined the debate and written a joint letter published in today’s (Saturday’s) Yorkshire Post.
The letter identifies “five massively serious disadvantages” of bringing fracking to Ryedale and further refers to the inadequacy of the regulatory regime in place.
The letter can be read on the Yorkshire Post website by following the link below.
The Slingsby Village website suggests any comments on the content of this letter should go to the Yorkshire Post (or to the authors of the letter).

“A fantastic effort by all the Collectors and very many thanks for the generosity shown by the Residents of the respective areas.”
Slingsby’s new defibrillator was installed mid-week in the former phone box on the Green.
It is housed within a secure and robust cabinet within the newly painted phone box.
The access code can only be obtained in the event of an emergency, and if the ambulance service considers it appropriate, in response to a 999 call.
About 20 local people attended the training session last Wednesday evening in the Village Hall. We learnt how to recognise cardiac arrest, how to give chest compressions, when and how to use the defibrillator, and about the associated action to take in the event of its being required.
Of course, it is to be hoped that it will not be needed any time soon.
