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).
Slingsby Village United Carol Service will be held this Sunday, 20th December, at 4 p.m. in the Methodist Chapel.
The service will be candle lit, and refreshments will be served at the end.
All are very welcome to this celebration of the Christmas story for all the family.
