Local MP, Tessa Munt is campaigning for a moratorium on Gas Shale Hydraulic Fracturing – known as “fracking” – on the Mendip Hills and confirmed her concerns about this process after attending Wedmore Green Group’s screening of Josh Fox’s film, ‘Gasland’ this week. ‘Gasland’ is a controversial, Oscar-nominated documentary about the risks associated with Hydraulic Fracturing, particularly those posed to water supplies.
