Fracking fears after Budget

Campaigners opposed to fracking are writing to First Minister Carwyn Jones and Prime Minister David Cameron to highlight their worries after the Chancellor signalled his support for the industry in yesterday's Budget.

It is thought there is a substantial amount of gas under parts of South Wales, and many local people are concerned about the controversial way it is extracted.

Those representing oil and gas operators have welcomed George Osborne's comments.

Hannah Thomas has been listening to both sides of the argument.

The controversial fracking process involves fluid being forced down a hole in the ground, fracturing the rock and releasing gas.

Anti-fracking campaigners in Wales say they'll write to First Minister Carwyn Jones and Prime Minister David Cameron to voice concerns after yesterday's Budget.

It follows Chancellor George Osborne's announcement that he wants to encourage the shale gas industry in the UK with a "generous" new tax regime.

'Frack-Free Wales' claims the process is unsafe, and is campaigning against exploratory drilling in Wales.
