MORE PICTURES OF OUR CLIFFS SLIDING INTO THE SEA!

​

We have a new page on our website with pictures of recent coastal erosion incidents. As reported in Newsletter 35, a 3D seismic study has not yet been carried out. The strategic planning committee are being asked to decide on the application without this vital information. The Burnniston Landslip is only 700m from the site. Based in Northallerton, do the councllors even know about this? Please let them know by objecting email to: planning.control@northyorks.gov.uk quoting ref NY/2025/0030/ENV and include your name and address. You can see the application here.

​

IRONICALLY, NYC is set to be awarded a 97,000 grant to address coastal erosion on the North Yorkshire coast.. Read about it here on This is the Coast website.

WHO ARE FFCC - Frack Free Costal Communities?

​

We are a local group, who have been campaigning regionally and nationally, from the villages on the North Yorkshire Heritage coast including Burniston, Cloughton, Scalby, Staintondale and Ravenscar. We want to protect our beautiful heritage coastline from industrialisation and the irreversible damage to our local environment, and the wider climate that Europa’s ‘Proppant squeeze’ (fracking) would cause. We believe the use of fossil fuels are destroying our planet and fracking should be banned in all forms.

​

We need to spread the message further. We would love to hear from any environmental organisations with national reach who might be able to help us spread the message nationwide.

​

WHAT IS FRACKING - AND WHY IS ALL ON SHORE FRACKING NOT BANNED NOW?

​

Fracking is short for Hydraulic Fracturing. Hydraulic Fracturing is a process that uses fluids to fracture rocks. Lower volume fracturing is not prevented by the moratorium on associated hydraulic fracturing, which was introduced in 2019. The moratorium affects only operations using more than 1,000m3 of fluid per fracturing stage or 10,000m3 in total. This volume is more than was used in Lancashire causing earthquakes which damaged properties and resulted in the moratorium!  Opponents have described this as a loophole in the law and called for a wider ban to include lower volume fracking. This planning application by Europa, if approved, will set a precedent for the many applications waiting in the wings. The government has replied to a parliamentary petition to ban 'small scale fracking' saying “the government recognises concerns from local communities regarding low volume fracturing and the fact that it is currently treated differently, and is therefore currently reviewing the position with regard to low volume hydraulic fracturing.” In the 2025 Labour Conference, Ed Milliband said (as reported by Drill or Drop) “I say let’s ban fracking and send this bunch of frackers packing too”.
