Councillors vote to protect the county’s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty from fracking

COUNCILLORS have voted to try and protect the county’s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty from fracking.

At last Friday’s full council meeting, a motion put forward by Councillor Paul Newman requesting the government consider withholding any licence which would allow fracking and any associated hydrocarbon extraction processes in or under Herefordshire’s vitally important Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) was fully supported.
