Surrey Hills is at risk from being destroyed by fracking
Surrey Hills, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoyed by many local Elmbridge families, is at risk from being destroyed by fracking.
At the beginning of Sept, Liz Truss announced the ban on Fracking in the UK will be lifted. Areas in the Surrey Hills have been identified as potential sites. Fracking will do nothing to solve the energy crisis and will do everything to destroy precious green spaces - and in Elmbridge promises to cause heavy traffic congestion, pollution in our rivers, and the risk of earthquakes. That's why Elmbridge Liberal Democrat Councilors with Resident Association colleagues have passed a motion to resist any fracking in Surrey. The quickest and cheapest way to reduce bills is to increase significantly onshore wind and solar electricity generation which can be connected directly to the energy grid. We'll be pushing to ban fracking again - both in our backyard and in the whole of the UK. The Liberal Democrats are your voice - fighting for a fairer deal for our residents locally and nationally.
