Fracking And Local Communities

EDM number 1598 in 2017-19, proposed by John Mann on 10/09/2018.
Categorised under the topic of Renewable energy.

That this House notes the huge impact that fracking has on local communities; further notes the lack of consultation undertaken with local residents when national fracking decisions are made; rejects the Government 's National Planning Policy Framework which neglects the voices of local people who completely oppose it; and calls on the Government to give local residents the power and influence in planning in their communities and not allow fracking companies to have a free reign to override residents’ very real concerns.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
