FRACK FREE COASTAL COMMUNITIES - NEWSLETTER 1.
​
Residents from the villages of Ravenscar, Staintondale, Cloughton, Burniston, Scalby and Scarborough opposed to the planning application by Europa Oil and Gas to drill.
​
Thank you so much for signing up to support our campaign to stop the proposed drilling for gas in Burniston by Europa Oil and Gas. Welcome to our very first email update!
WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW
Europa is expected to lodge an application for permission to build their temporary drill installation in the next few weeks just a few metres from homes in Burniston Village. This will have a devastating effect on the villages including burning flares, continuous drilling, noise, light and chemical pollution and a huge number of extra HGVs coming through the villages. Bore holes will be dug towards Scalby initially and then Cloughton which will be used for ‘proppant squeezing’ (fracking). The drill location is opposite the old Burniston Nurseries on Coastal Road, between the cinder track and the Cleveland Way.
​
OUR IMMEDIATE PLANS
Planning Officers place great weight on the number of individual letters of objection (or support) concerning a planning application. We are keeping our eyes peeled for the planning application to be lodged by Europa. This is expected around Christmas time or early in the New Year. When that time comes, we will let everyone know via this group and will send a guide to help you to object.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
The more people who object the better and every objection counts. PLEASE SHARE this link on Facebook, by email, by WhatsApp to your groups or by word of mouth to help people sign up to the group. Everyone who signs up will then be alerted to the planning application and will receive the guide to help them to object. The more people sign up the more objections will be lodged.
We are looking for volunteers At the moment we need help to deliver leaflets to alert people to what is happening. Please click here if you would like to help in any way.
