North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has pledged to fight against fracking, warning that the Conservative U-turn could mean beautiful countryside could be turned into a gas rig.
Land the size of 928 football pitches is already licensed for fracking in North Shropshire and could potentially be drilled now the Government has lifted the ban.
“The Conservatives are determined to turn our beautiful countryside into a gas rig despite knowing full well this will not bring energy prices down. “Instead of forcing local communities to live with the risk of earthquakes, the Government should be focusing on insulating homes and investing in forms of energy that will reduce household bills.”
The ‘zone of influence’ the area that might be affected includes Drayton and Whitchurch and goes down to just above Hodnet.
