Fracking, in my view, is a very risky technology even with the best of safeguards. It would be far better getting far more households with solar power and more efficiency put into our old housing stock. However in Bath and NE Somerset our area is covered by 4 licences and 3 have expired and one has a 1 year extension. I have written to Government asking that the 3 expired licecnes should be revoked and not added into the next sale of licences. The reason is the risk to the world heritage city of Bath and its Spa waters.
In addition to Governement I have also written to several key environmental agancies and the Workld Heritage management asking for their support in this request.

Totally agree Paul, the waters of Bath are too special to take any chances with! They have been known from pre-history, so we should not be remembered as the generation that destroyed this heritage.
