Investment zones and fracking

Get £1k - loose god knows on the value of your house

Does this mean that communities will be fighting with each other when some people want to take he money and others don’t?

Looks like they are going to offer between £500 - 1000 to people in the area of fracking sites. Guess this is what trickling down is in action. They trash your neighbourhood, give you a few pounds and make a fortune. Probably factoring in the process that the locals need a few quid to tide them over. Crumbs brushed off the table.

Jacob Rees Mogg has been saying he'd be delighted to have fracking in his back garden, especially as he'd be paid royalties. He describes allowing fracking in your garden as as 'a public service'.

His neighbours don't agree with him, understandable really as fracking in Mogg's back garden would be a risk to the next door lake which provides most of Bristol's drinking water and would also potentially impact on the geology that provides the famous spring of hot water in Bath.

He dismissed criticism of fracking on Monday, saying: “So who doesn’t like it? The socialists and Caroline Lucas. Well that makes my heart bleed.”

Hopefully, that means that Rees-Mogg's political career is over after the next election. Labour and the LibDems currently split the opposition in his constituency, so they need to get some tactical voting pact sorted.

There will be no fracking in Scotland ,we're on a fault line in our area I'd hate to see the damage that would be done .
Theres a moratorium on Fracking been in existence for a number of years now so it cant go ahead against our will.

They know the cost of everything, but the value of nothing.

Well all you can do is protest. It's obvious what this government is trying to do and it must be stopped. There's more to life than money.

Bramber is in a beautiful part of Sussex. It is outrageous.

DH has just written to our MP asking her if they will be fracking in our village. I don’t think the government realise how much opposition there is going to be. Roger Gale said on tv the other day he didn’t want things like that in his backyard!
