Protect Our Heritage Coastline from fracking!
We are a North Yorkshire action group to oppose a planning application to explore and drill for gas beneath the heritage coastline close to the village of Burniston. We are rural coastal communities who want to protect our beautiful coastline from industrialisation and irreversible damage to our local environment, and the wider climate. We are fundraising to cover the costs of the next stage of our planning expert to help us with our campaign.
Please sign our petition: Ban "small scale fracking" for onshore oil and gas

From Chris Garforth to our supporters - "Another great turnout at the Rugby Club. A big thank you to everyone who came - and those supporters who weren't able to join us - for all you've done over the past nine months: distributing leaflets, telling family and friends about the threat Europa poses to our communities and our planet, putting up posters, sharing information on social media and messaging apps, marching to the drill site in March, reading and researching the planning application. And what a result: over 1400 objections submitted to North Yorkshire. They are still accepting objections - the latest was uploaded to the register yesterday. So if you haven't done so already, or you have additional comments to make, it's not too late!"
Just under 200 attending the meeting June 10th! Thank you to all of you...
‘Ask Alison’ public meeting on Europa’s plans to perform a mini-frack – or proppant squeeze – in Burniston underlined the strength of feeling within the community against their proposal.
"I’ve already stated my opposition to fracking in all its shapes and forms. I was more than happy to state it again".
"Over 60 local residents attended today along with parish, town and county councillors. Everyone who took part in the Q&A outlined their opposition too".
"I’ll take what you told me back to Westminster and ensure the voices of my constituents are heard in government".
"As a government we are banning fracking and working through the implication of that. I’m pushing for that to include small scale fracking, which is currently treated differently, and shouldn’t be!"
"Thank you Burniston for your warm welcome".
