Was told that we have the legal right (/democratic obligation) to put our views on fracking to the leader of the council, who has jurisdiction in the matter of whether fracking takes place in the county. I duly did so. Several months later I had received no reply to my questions, so I contacted the leader of the council asking for an update. I received no meaningful reply. Appalled by the lack of democracy in our political processes, and appalled by the lack of accountability of the council. Hopefully Crude stays at sub $50, so the lunatics pushing the shale madness don't get a foothold in my county, (or anywhere else for that matter).
