Fracking Protestors Demonstrate In Northallerton

NORTHALLERTON, ENGLAND - MAY 20: Supporters from Lancashire join anti fracking protestors from Yorkshire outside the County Hall building in Northallerton as the County council's Planning and Regulatory Committee meet inside to decide on a planning application submitted by Third Energy to conduct fracking on May 20, 2016 in Northallerton, England. The committee heard arguments both in favour and against plans to carry out exploratory fracking at the existing Third Energy KM8 well at Kirby Misperton in North Yorkshire. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking as it is commonly known is a technique designed to recover natural gas from shale rock by drilling down into the earth before a high pressure water and chemical mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside.
