More 'fracking sites' for region?
A village is calling for an energy company to halt its plans for exploratory drilling in a bid to find gas and oil.
Wildlife at Balcombe 'in danger' charity says
The Sussex Wildlife Trust claims that insufficient consultation and surveys were carried out before oil drilling started at Balcombe.
The charity says the ancient woodland surrounding the site in West Sussex could be home to a number of species of woodland birds, bats and dormice and their habitat is potentially being disrupted while exploration takes place.
