YP Letters: Shadow of fracking hangs over Yorkshire Wolds

Fracking could alter the character of the Yorkshire Wolds, it is claimed.

I AM prompted to write this having just read Sue Woodcock’s “Wolds Diary” (The Yorkshire Post, January 23). She makes the comment in her article: “I am so fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the world.”

I totally agree with her, this is why we returned to Yorkshire over 20 years ago.

However, we now have the threat of fracking coming to Ryedale.

Even after attending the climate change conference in Paris last year, David Cameron is still pushing for shale gas.

This is in the face of climate change and all the problems experienced in Pennsylvania  and many other states of the USA.

In England, as vast sums of money could be made for a few from fracking, how can we trust any gas company?

Once any fracking company gets a foothold in England,  there will be no stopping  them.

They would not give a damn about us, our beautiful environment, our health, our lives.

Mine and Sue Woodcock’s beautiful land would be a memory.
