A retired geologist has warned North Yorkshire councillors they risk embarrassment or even legal action over the handling of a planning application for gas drilling at Burniston near Scarborough.
Residents of the North Yorkshire village facing plans for gas exploration are afraid they may be used as guineapigs for proppant squeeze, a form of lower-volume fracking.
The Reform-led Scarborough Town Council has voted unanimously against plans for lower volume fracking in the North Yorkshire village of Burniston.
