Borras sign near the entrance gate to proposed drill site
These photos of the proposed drilling site - application refused by Wrexham council and overturned by the Planning Inspectorate - and the surrounding countryside were taken yesterday afternoon. All very idyllic... for the moment.

Planning Inspector overturns Wrexham Council fracking decision. Public meeting 23 October

12-10-2014 12:02

Earlier this week, the Planning Inspector granted the appeal by GP/Dart/now IGas against Wrexham Council's refusal to grant planning permission for a test drill for Coal Bed Methane at Borras (near Commonwood) near Wrexham. Test drilling on the site could now go ahead at any time.

Yesterday, Saturday 11 October, flyers for a public meeting on 23 October were handed out to football fans before the Wrexham vs. Grimbsy 150th anniversary game. If we want to see another 150 years of Wrexham AFC we're going to have to stop the frackers.
