NOTICES OF MOTION

To consider the following motion in the name of Councillor Boyle:

 

That this Council notes that:

On 8 September 2022, the Prime Minister announced plans to lift the ban on fracking for shale gas.

This Council further notes that:

Fracking could put communities at risk of micro-earthquakes, ground water contamination, loss of species and many other environmental hazards.

This announcement seriously calls into question the government’s commitment to reduce the country’s reliance on fossil fuels and to move to net zero emissions by 2050.

That this Council deeply regrets the Government’s announcement to lift the ban on fracking; notes with concern how extracting new fossil fuels distracts from investing in renewable projects and decarbonising heating systems; recognises the importance of reducing the demand for gas to heat homes in order to lower heating bills, create warmer homes and cut emissions; regrets the lack of support from the Government to help people improve the energy efficiency of their homes; further recognises that fracking would hinder the UK from achieving net-zero emissions; further notes with concern the importance of keeping energy bills low for consumers; notes with concern the lack of evidence that fracking in the UK would lower bills for consumers; and calls on the Government to publish the British Geological Survey report it commissioned earlier this year into fracking.

 

This Council resolves to:

Write to the Prime Minister to re-iterate this Council’s continued opposition to fracking, calling on the government to rethink this decision, and ban fracking once and for all in the UK.
