Formal complaint against Environment Agency on Burniston permit
A formal complaint has been made against the Environment Agency (EA) over the way it has handled plans for gas drilling and lower-volume fracking at Burniston in North Yorkshire.
A formal complaint has been made against the Environment Agency (EA) over the way it has handled plans for gas drilling and lower-volume fracking at Burniston in North Yorkshire.
Residents in a North Yorkshire village where there are plans for lower-volume fracking have called on the energy minister to apologise over claims he made about the process.
An environmental campaigner is challenging the government over what he says are “misleading” and “inaccurate” claims about the controversial issue of fracking.
A gas company that criticised campaigners for using the word ‘fracking’ for a well operation in North Yorkshire used the same term for the same process in correspondence with officials.
The BBC has admitted it was inaccurate for a presenter on a flagship news programme to say that scientists had debunked fears about earthquakes near fracking sites.
